Yes, Stefan it would be terrific if you could keep an eye on it while

Thanks! -- Andrei
instantiation ?
Do you mean mixin-expansion ?
or are you talking about mixins created in templates ?
Mixin expansions.
Although Caching mixin expansions hits on the same problem as chaching
template-instances, it is more difficult since a mixin can appear anywhere.
and one has to worry about a much wider scope.
I'll see what I can come up with, for now the debugging is priority.
@Ethan can you share code illustrating your usecase.
(My head is inside compiler internals and building test-code is a rather
unpleasant context switch)
Understood, then keep this on the back burner and forge ahead with the
warm cache. Thanks! -- Andrei
