that's a good point but I don't like string mixin to be used for that. Actually, string mixins should be deprecated in favor of better tools.

IIRC, ada has expression generics, which in D would be like:
sort!(a.name < b.name)(vec) // instead of the above

the difference is that it's not a string but an expression in the language itself.

Where would tbe names a and b be looked at?
