No.


If not, is something like this being looked at?


The suggestion has been made, but there was no extensive 
discussion so far.

https://github.com/dlang/DIPs/blob/master/DIPs/DIP1010.md#mixin-identifiers



That's the DIP for static foreach. Is there a separate DIP for 
mixin identifiers?


Not yet.


:( I might look into making one, then. This feature would scratch 
a rather sizable itch.

Only if you mixin the entire function.

But what I like to do is to write the function with some internal 
name, then do `mixin("alias "~ new_name ~ " = 
your_internal_name;");` so it is available as new name but still 
written normally.

Or, just something like this for any variable name.

Is it possible to mixin function names? IE something like this:

template strFunc(string s){
int mixin(s)(int a){
return a+1;
}
}

If not, is something like this being looked at?
