I have a mixin template that I use to make programming to
interfaces easier. The problem is when I try to wrap the template
to reduce dependence on the container class(using typeof(this)) I
get an error as the string mixin is not working.
The code can be seen here
http://dpaste.dzfl.pl/6c90ca418996
The lines are 77-81 and 162-163 that are the problems.
AbstractToInterface(a mixin template) simply wraps
AbstractToInterface2(a string mixin)
(I haven't removed the container class dependency since it
doesn't change anything yet but that is the goal)
I have a simplified test case that does work(and does remove the
extra parameter but, again, that isn't where the problem is).

B is a string mixin template that depends on the container
class(parameter T). I do not want to have to duplicate that
argument though since it is not necessary. Hence where the mixin
template C comes into play. It is able to get the container class
type and pass it to B.
There is no real difference between the two yet the first gives
strange errors(I get different errors about assignment(lines 200
and 212) but dpaste gives more direct results(the properties to
handle the general case are simply not mixed in).
There should be no difference between the two code examples. They
both essentially do the same thing(wrap a string mixin). Why one
works and the other doesn't is beyond me.... seems like a bug
unless I'm doing something really stupid.
Any ideas?
P.S. The specific error I get is "Error: gui.border is not an
lvalue" which suggests that the setter properties are not being
inserted.
