That's what he's suggesting, and it does make sense. When you write a template, *either* it's meant to be used as a mixin, *or* it's meant to be used some other way. Mixin in a template that wasn't meant to be a mixin or vice versa usually makes no sense. > If you > change 'mixin' to 'paste' your way round looks even more wrong. If you're thinking of 'mixin' as a verb, "to mix in", I can understand that. But if you consider his syntax with "mixin" as a noun (like "class" or "template"), it makes more sense.
