Ok, I wish to create a standard timing system so that I can measure ~how

I wish to be able to place at the start of a function

mixin template TimeExecution(T) if(isSomeString!T) {
import std.stdio, std.datetime, std.conv;

auto sw = StopWatch(AutoStart.yes);
// Error: Declaration expected, not '('
scope(exit) writeln(T, ": ", to!Duration(sw.peek));
}


Why do I receive the Error when the scope statement is included?
Is this an error, or what is the rationale behind the decision?

Thank you.

It appears that you cannot mixin *any* statement with scope([exit,success,etc]) in it.

Mixin templates are supposed to introduce *declarations* not statements.

Eg. even this shouldn't compile, should it?
