Such a feature can be used to make sure that all child have a mechanism to register themselves int he factory. Something à la

class Base {
    super mixin {
        shared this() {
            library.register(typeid(typeof(this)));
        }
    }
}

class Child : Base {
    // The super mixin also gets expanded here.
    // But this does not have the same type.
    // Both end up being registered, whatever that means.
}

Such a solution can be leveraged by any library or user to do whatever they want. Sounds a better approach to me that introducing hacks.

+1, this seems like a great solution.

now if only typeinfo could be completely redone...
