Very interesting: is the monitor field ever touched by
compiled D code at any point nowadays? Or is it just vestigial?
Yes its opt-in.

I've stumbled over the Monitor/etc sometimes writing
serialization, RPC, LUA etc modules iterating over class members,
looking for UDAs, after trying to separate everything out using
isFunction/isTemplate/etc, on top of dealing with overload
spaghetti, I now just explicitly do something dumb like this to
get those edge cases out of the way:
```d
static foreach (sym; __traits(allMembers, T))
static if
(!["__ctor","__dtor","__xdtor","Monitor","factory"].canFind(sym))
{{
