I like to build structures using template mixins because one

have a relationship between different types.
It would be really nice if one could sort of test if a template
mixin was "mixed" in(or ideally, struct S : SomeTemplate
(template inheritance)).
While one can overcome a lot of the issues by doing static
checking(e.g., does IsSomeTemplate compile or other
introspective like checks), it is a bit messy and clutters up
the code.
Does anyone do stuff like this and have a nice elegant way?
I suppose you could have the template mixin define a unique key (
kinda like the current(?) std.random's isUniformRandom trick) for
that mixin and then do
is(hasMember!(S,someUniqueTemplateMixinName))
