Thanks. My current solution is to have a metadata file where all
the type information is stored and then the data file separately.
I should have been clearer when I asked if there was something I
was missing, like whether there is another way to do compile time
read without reading the whole file. I think the feature I
suggested is a useful one to bear in mind for future versions of
D. It would save on preprocessing large files before reading
them. I don't know how `import` for file reads works at the
moment, and correct me if I'm wrong but it doesn't seem to me
that it would be a big deal to make the change.
