I have a rather complicated string mixin defined and invoked from

Which seems to work.
But when I move the mixin definition to a separate module, and import
that module into the original source file, the compilation collapses
complaining that array concatenation requires the GC, which is not
available with -betterC.

string genStuff(string val) {
return val ~ ";";

This won't work without a way to mark `genStuff` as CTFE only. Which
doesn't exist currently.
Compiler has to know that a given execution context is CTFE only
otherwise disallowed.
1. Any proposals to mark a function as CTFE only?
No, this is something that should've been done a while back.
The main concern is that you can get a linker error if you don't emit a
function that was called.
