Failed with 2x "Error: variable `strVar` cannot be read at
compile time".
You can fix this by making `strVar` a [manifest constant][1]:
```d
enum strVar = "fooVar";
writeln(typeof(mixin(strVar)).stringof);
writeln(mixin(strVar));
```

Doesn't solve the compile-time only problem though :(
The only solution I can think of is something with `variant`s,
but it'll be messy.
