I'm looking for the equivalent of `typeof(this)` in module

The trick I use is `mixin(__MODULE__)`.
I also mentioned this in my book
https://www.packtpub.com/application-development/d-cookbook
the free sample is the reflection chapter which has a few
tricks like this.
Thanks! That works great. For anyone else stumbling across this
in the future: if your mixin is in another file, you need to pass
in __MODULE__ as a default argument:
mixin template ATemplate(string moduleName = __module__)
{
mixin(moduleName); // Is a reference to the module that
instantiated it.
}
This can be a little finicky, so I'd still like to see
language-level support for getting the current module (perhaps
defining 'this' at module-level to be the current module). I'll
probably make a post in the main group for it - thanks for the
help :)
