I discovered it fails to compile when inside a function with

Error: forward reference to test
but this works
int test()
{
throw new Exception( mixin(__FUNCTION) );
return 0;
}
So we're kinda sunk for inclusion in phobos unless this error
can be resolved.
I'll try the enum idea to see if that works.

An update on this problem. I found out that the error when using
auto as return type has nothing to do with the mixin. The
compiler error persists when you take mixin out and put in the
__traits( ... ) code directly.
Does anyone else think that this is a compiler bug? If it is a
bug then I'll report it in the bug tracker.
