This simple mixin fails to compile, anyone know why?

```D
mixin implement;

mixin template implement() {
    mixin("struct _gen(T) {");
    mixin("}");
}

A string mixin must form a complete declaration / statement / expression / type, so you can't end on an open brace.

this is sad, how i am supposed to do a foreach inbetween?

```D
mixin implement!TEST;

mixin template implement(stuff) {
    mixin("struct _gen(T) {");

    // pseudo code
    static foreach(args)
        mixin("stuff");

    mixin("}");
}

void main(){}
```
