I don't agree with the current solution:
Well let's come up with a better solution then.
Let's start by finding some proper use-cases that require
introspection on private members w/o having access to them.
In my user library, the serialization is based on the @Set and
@Get UDAs. Typically there would be a setter (a public method)
and no getter (i.e the data is read directly either from a
protected or private variable).
A public setter for private members is weird, but well. As a
library template can't read private fields, you don't need the
@Get attribute.
The introspection is used to create a property descriptor.
What does that mean? You're creating a property in the serialised
data?
Defining de-/serialize methods in the class/struct, e.g. with a
mixin template would be the cleaner and more obvious approach IMO.
