How do I generate `setX` methods for all private mutable

the question was more about the metprogramming technic, and
that you don't want a pre-mashed solution ;)
By the way...an other solution is to use
[opDispatch](https://dlang.org/spec/operatoroverloading.html#dispatch):
```d
class Color {}
class Rectangle {
private Color fillColor;
private Color strokeColor;
private uint strokeWidth;
auto opDispatch(string member, T)(auto ref T t)
{
static if (member == "setStrokeWidth") {}
else static if (member == "setStrokeColor") {}
else static if (member == "setFillColor") {}
else static assert(0, "cannot set " ~ member);
return this;
}
}
void main()
{
(new Rectangle)
.setStrokeWidth(0)
.setStrokeColor(null)
.setFillColor(null);
}
```
Sure the first solution takes advantage of D features but to
generate code that finally looks like C# or Delphi (`Set`, `Get`;
`property`, etc.)
On top of that I tend to prefer the later solution because
self-introspection based on `__traits` has corner issues,
especially when typecons-like structures are used for the members
(e.g sumtype, nullable, etc.).
