If what Jonathan says is true, then
http://dlang.org/template-mixin.html should be updated: s/mixin
template/template/
I'm not sure how your conclusion matches with what Jonathon said.
History:
a Mixin Template was once a template which was mixed in. The
syntax "mixin template {}" did not exist.
It was realized that one would not design templates which made
sense to mixin or be used as a regular template, so it was
suggested to require declaring the mixin explicitly at the
template declaration.
The "mixin template {}" syntax was added, it seems to have only
required the use of mixing in, the original "template {}" was
left alone probably for backwards compatibility.
Looks like docs were updated to the expected definition, but
implementation was not made to match.
