I argued for this in the past on this NG but still no one seems to have

designed around full run-time reflection capabilities.
D2 will have reflection. (Walter doesn't know yet. He thinks D3 will have
reflection.) It will be compile-time reflection because only run-time
reflection only is missing the point.
Will it be implemented through __traits, or *yet another* compile-time
introspection facility?
Whatever it'll be, I'm sure it will not shut off your whine noise
generator :o).
