mixin template Helpers(int x)
{
     disable void foo() { }
}

struct S
{
    mixin Helpers!16;
}

void main()
{
    S s;
    s.foo();
}

$ dmd test.d

test.d(14): Error: function test.S.Helpers!16.foo is not callable because it is
annotated with  disable

Because of these diagnostics using a template mixin introduces a really bad
user experience. The user shouldn't have to know that a struct implements a
function using a mixin template. The diagnostic should be:

-----
test.d(14): Error: function test.S.foo is not callable because it is annotated
with  disable
-----

Currently we're forced to use string mixins to achieve the same effect:

-----
string Helpers(int x)()
{
    return q{
     disable void foo() { }
    };
}

struct S
{
    mixin(Helpers!16());
}

void main()
{
    S s;
    s.foo();
}
-----

$ dmd test.d
test.d(16): Error: function test.S.foo is not callable because it is annotated
with  disable

But mixin templates are supposed to be used exactly for this purpose, for
mixing in declarations rather than arbitrary code.
