How does one obtain from strVar:
1. The type of fooVar;

`typeof(mixin(strVar))`

2. The value of fooVar?

`mixin(strVar)`
```
void main() {

   import std.stdio;

   int fooVar = 4;

   string strVar;

   strVar = "fooVar";
   writeln(typeof(mixin(strVar)));
   writeln(mixin(strVar));
}
```
Failed with 2x "Error: variable `strVar` cannot be read at 
compile time".
