I think that qualifies as a bug, because fullyQualifiedName is supposed to be usable in code generation.
This is a misconception. Neither .stringof nor fullyQualifiedName should *ever* be used in code generation. There is a myriad of things that make strings unsuitable in the general case. The most obvious reason are imports: think a type coming via an alias parameter from a second module, which is not even important at the point of the mixin.
Instead of trying to make .stringof work do things it will never be able to, you need to use the type just as you would at the point of the mixin. In this example, you would write `mixin("typeof(a) d");`.
