But then you would lose some of the benefits of the builtins with respect to templates and CTFE. Speaking of which, does anyone actually use AAs in templates and CTFE? I have tried once or twice, and it actually works. If we put AAs in object.d, what would be done about using them in CTFE, given that the implementation would likely not be CTFE-compatible?
