there is no difference between template and mixin template
That's not true.
Templates do not carry context with them, they only have their own scope
available.
Where as mixin templates can access every member that is in their scope.
Consider:
template SetXCTFE_Template(int value) {
void SetXCTFE_Template() {
x = value;
}
}
mixin template SetXCTFE_Mixin_Template(int value) {
void handle() {
x = value;
}
}
void main() {
int x;
x = SetXCTFE_Template!10; // Not ok ...
mixin SetXCTFE_Mixin_Template!10; // ok ...
handle(); // ok ...
}
The point is that you can mix in non-mixin templates just fine:
mixin SetXCTFE_Template!10; // ok
In that regard, templates and mixin templates behave the same. The
difference between them is that you can't instantiate a mixin template
without `mixin`.
