The pointer to the RTTI information for each member is a workaround for a strange bug I encountered. For POD structs the rtInfo template will be instancated, but for some reason you can not query the results at runtime. It is possible that the linker stripps the information away but I could not yet investigate this issue further. If I can not query the RTTI information at runtime I fallback to the RTTI info pointer stored in the “next” member of thMemberInfo.<
This seems one of the situations where knowing "why" is almost more important than "doing": understanding the cause, and maybe even fixing it, will help future D programmers.
