i don't know why you want that, but something like this may do:

auto callBaseMethod(string MTN, C, Args...) (inout C self, Args args) {
  alias FSC = BaseClassesTuple!(C)[0];
  return mixin(`self.`~FSC.stringof~`.`~MTN~"(args)");
}

writeln(d.callBaseMethod!"toString");

no. and again, why do you want that? why do you people are so afraid of 
string mixins? ;-)
