I'm not sure what you mean with »[…] the only acceptable input is a string; Since strings won't hold the type information...« – the input to BitfieldsOn is _not_ a string, it is an alias. The trick is that you can refer to it as »target« inside the mixin template, so the problem of obtaining the »real name« of something doesn't even arise.
Honestly i don't understand. In my code i was referring to the variable as 'target'; But when came time to return a string it needs the full name/location to refer to (as a string) to inject the code, which then the 'stringof' didn't help.
I've already done a workaround that resolves the problem, we can refer back to this another time if another solution presents itself.
