Doesn't seem to scale to member access:

/d649/f987.d-mixin-3(7): Error: 'this' is only defined in non-static

Is there a way to make it work?

Mike

template namespace(string code,alias a=void){
    mixin(code);
}

struct List{
    int x;
    alias stable = namespace!(q{
        void fun(){
            import std.stdio;
            writeln(this.x);
        }
    },x);
}

void main(){
    List lst;
    lst.stable.fun();
}


:o)

WTF! Why does that even work! That is strait madness! When the code gets
mixed into the namespace template, x would have been re-aliased to a, it
would have made sense to write "writeln(a)" which works as well... but
"writeln(this.x)", wut, how... that makes no sense...

http://dlang.org/spec/template.html#nested-templates

"If a template has a template alias parameter, and is instantiated with a local symbol, the instantiated function will implicitly become nested in order to access runtime data of the given local symbol."

You are probably relying on this feature in a significant portion of your code, especially for lambda template arguments. It does not really cover all cases where one would like to have nested instantiation though.
