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.
Use case that I think is pretty durn important: using
Allocator.make and forwarding a call to the private constructor
on a class.
This does not work now:
---
class A
{ int b; private this(int a){b=a;} }
auto ptr = make!A(Mallocator.instance, 42); // Compile Error!
---
Allocators are second class in this respect compared to GC.
Mixins aren't a good solution to this.
