Additionally, any libraries that provide a base class with a
mixin require inheritors to know about that mixin and provide
it in their own code.

It looks like you miss the solution proposed above, using a
template this parameter. It's very clear and consise ! Actually
the mixin is even not necessary.
Unfortunately the solution with the templated "this" creates
non-virtual functions. Using the template and the classes in
that solution, the following main method produces two UUIDs:
void main() {
Base a = new Base(), b = new Inheritor();
a.writeName.writeln;
b.writeName.writeln;
}
which is very different from the output that we would want by
having the specialization of Base.
