Yes, I use reflection in some of my code, and it definitely has to come to D sometime. At least if I wanted to port my current project to D it would have to ;)
It's in D, just not standardized. There used to be a project "flectioned" by Thomas Khune that allowed reflection by either importing the map file or adding debug symbols in Windows (in Linux, it worked even on non-debug builds). It doesn't compile on the newer versions of D, but it shouldn't be too hard to fix up.
A different option would be to use some template/mixin magic to add specified classes to a set of exported/reflectable types. A good example of this is MiniD's binding libraries or PyD, which allow you to very easily wrap a module/class/etc. and make the names visible to a dynamic language.
