9350 :: `mixin` ignores `when` branching

  Is this supposed to work? I couldn't find an issue about it. No matter the when branch, the mixin is always used.

  #tokens.nim
  proc getToken*(): string = "123456"
  
  #main.nim
  import tokens
  template login(): bool =
    when not defined(release):
      mixin getToken
    getToken() != "INVALID"
  block testBad:
    proc getToken(): string = "INVALID"
    assert login() == false
  Run

  I am not sure, as I haven't tried this, but I think: you are importing tokens.nim in the first line of main.nim file. so, you have access to that proc. maybe you meant to include it? see that your concept of a mixin is the same concept in nim
