As for Orange, is it OK with you if I show a small part of it? Is it
OK for me to link to the github project?
Mainly, I wanted to show some tricks you used in util/Reflection.d and
util/Traits.d. I should rummage in your code again.


Btw, I think that by using the technics shown in Nick's last year
article (generating switch/cases from CT information), it would be
possible to make some parameters of Reflection.d be runtime parameters
instead of compile-time.

That is, from hasField!(T, "field") to hasField!T("field"). I do not
know if for serializing it's interesting or not.

This mixin comes from Andrej Mitrovic. You should see with him the
difference with Orange, I admit not knowing much about this.
