But your template mixin is still duplicating generic code that

Oh yeah, that can be done too.
Here's an example:
http://arsdnet.net/dcode/autoimpl.d
The mixin template is implemented by a helper function, which
loops over the interface methods and builds a code string for it.
It doesn't handle complex cases, like a setter without a getter,
but it is a start.
The pragma(msg) in there shows you the generated code when it
compiles, which can help debugging or just show you what's going
on, of course you can remove that when you're happy with it.
