Hi!
I wrote this small `describe-d` library to allow me to do more
readable introspection in some of my projects.
Any feedback is appreciated!
Thanks,

cool library, looks really useful for writing big introspection
projects, but on the other hand also looks like this would
significantly increase compilation time currently. Have you
done any benchmarks how your methods compare (RAM, CPU time) to
traits? While I love the syntax and the idea, I think with
current CTFE and templates it would be quite a big hit to use
in a project.
Thanks!
I did not make any performance measurements. If you know how
could I do this at compile time, it would be awesome. I think, I
would need to watch the compiler process for this. If there is no
other way, I'll do it like this after I will have a more concrete
APIs.
Usually templates take more time to compile that CTFE, that's why
I intend to use less templates, or none, if is possible. I expect
to see an increase in the compilation time, but It should not be
exponential. I am doing this, because I work a lot with
introspection, and some of my projects are hard to read because
of all this mess around traits an templates.
That made me think that, I could give a few more seconds to the
compiler to have a more readable code. I'll update my projects to
use this library to see how the compilation performance will
change.
