Is the above a "good" way to do this?
It looks ok to me. There are some minor changes I would make,
like using `typeof(this)` instead of `S` to refer to the type of
the struct you're mixing it into, but the overall approach is
fine.
Are there libraries (or even something in Phobos?) that already
provide some mixins or equivalent functionality?
For reference, I wanted something like Java [Lombok's ToString
annotation](https://projectlombok.org/features/ToString), also
present in
[Groovy](https://docs.groovy-lang.org/latest/html/gapi/groovy/transform/ToString.html).
The [`boilerplate` package][1] has a [`GenerateToString`
mixin][2] that looks pretty similar to the examples you linked.
