I have the following code:

return VarType.stringof ~ "SignalWrappers";

{
alias typeSignalWrappers =
mixin(getVariableSignalWrappersName!VarType);
}
On compilation, the following error is issued:
Error: basic type expected, not mixin
Why should it be like that? I believe the compiler should not
impose restrictions on what mixins can or cannot do :/
Mixins are statements. They cannot be a part of an expression.
The other two posts have demonstrated how to get around this.
