/**
 * A mixin from the point of view of this artifact represents a snippet of
 * functionality which can be mixed into a type. A mixin is not intended to be
 * used as a type by itself. A mixin enables you to unify your types by always
 * mixing the same mixin for the same functionality into your different types.
 * For example methods such as accessors (such as getters) for common purposes
 * should be named always the same to get high recognition factor by developers
 * using your API: This helps using your API much more intuitively. Such common
 * methods are defined in mixins in the mixins.
