It can be useful if you are using mixins where you don't know
what is going to
be in the destination scope.
Is true. People who do metaprogramming with C macros have all
kinds of problems with the lack of scoping of temp variable
names within the macros.
But keep in mind that we can also name mixins. Or is that only
possible when you're mixing in a template/mixin template?
