What about the already present std.typecons.Unique?
In your list I'd like to add another point:

What if we had an "opDestructure" or "opMatch" or something like
that? It could return a tuple and be auto-implemented by the
compiler for simple structs/classes. Then users could precisely
control how their type can be destructured.
