Ideally, there should be a __traits(getModules) or __traits(getImports, ...). I know, I know, "where is the PR?". Also, this helper!(__traits) just to avoid a hole in the alias syntax is... what we all do here I suppose, but honestly the parser should accept alias member = __traits(getMember, ID, memberName); as valid D code.
