Should have said "But we need to change the name early on to avoid

later", i.e. "why is this GCInfo template generating reflection info
that the GC
doesn't use?"
Not a bad idea.
Done.
I think it is a worthwhile idea because it leaves the door open for all
kinds of information to be generated for types, without needing to
modify the compiler at all.
Also incorporated Jacob's suggestion to make it a property.
I see, looks good!
One interesting question -- which template is instantiated by the
compiler, the one in object.di or the one in object_.d? It seems they are
not identical...
Another interesting question, in what context does the RTInfo(T) template
get instantiated? In other words, if you needed more helper templates for
GC purposes for instance, what file would have to include that, object.di,
object_.d, or some other module?
