`printName(alias var)()` is not a great solution, eg: doesn't work
with expressions, doesn't work with variadics, introduces template
bloat.
https://github.com/dlang/dmd/pull/7821 introduces
__traits(getCallerSource, symbol) which will allow what you want.

you can pass it by alias:

Well, it works. But I am confused now, why. Isn't

Imagine a function like this:

int x = 10;
printValue("x", x);
is it somehow possible to convert that printValue into a mixin
or something, so I could do something

and it will figure out the "x"
