How do I invoke the member function in a reliable way? Given `obj` of the type of the object, I used `mixin("obj.", __traits(identifier, memberFunc), "(params)")`, but that has issues, among probably others, definitely with visibility. (The member function alias is a template parameter.)

Construct a delegate from the alias and the object, and call that delegate:

----
class C
{
    int field = 42;
    void method() { import std.stdio; writeln(field); }
}

void fun(alias method)(C c)
{
    void delegate() dg;
    dg.funcptr = &method;
    dg.ptr = cast(void*) c;
    dg();
}

void main()
{
    fun!(C.method)(new C); /* prints "42" */
}
