Sure, but that's not the point of partial. It's almost never
used by the programmer directly, and when it is used you almost
never need to look at the generated partial class code as "it
just works". So, you effectively get what you "prefer" but you
also get clean separation between generated and user code,
which is very important if the generated code needs to be
re-generated and it also means the user code stays simpler,
cleaner and easier to work with.
Basically it's just a good idea(TM). Unfortunately as many
have said, it's not something D2.0 is likely to see. String
mixins aren't the nicest thing to use, but at least they can
achieve the same/similar thing.

I don't get how the same can't be achieved with mixin template
for instance.
