c++ - a couple of questions.. (mixins and inout)

class A
{
 void func(){}
 template funcdecl(Type)

  void func(Type t){writefln(t);}
 }
 mixin funcdecl!(int) ;
 mixin funcdecl!(float) ;
}

We all know this doesn't work but it can be fixed by adding aliases:
 mixin funcdecl!(int) a1;
 mixin funcdecl!(float) a2;
 alias a1.func func;
 alias a2.func func;

And now the name overloading works, but:
what if i want to mixin constructors, how can i do that?

 template funcdecl(Type)
 {
  this(Type t){}
 }
 mixin funcdecl!(int) a1;
 mixin funcdecl!(float) a2;
 alias a1.this this;
 alias a2.this this;

This doesn't work!

And another question:

class A{}
 void func(inout A a){}
 func(new A);
--> this doesn't work why? (new A  is not an lvalue)
If C++ can do it why not D?

It is a lot more complicated to assign temporary objects
to variables and then pass it as an inout param then to pass
it directly.
