Thanks! And yes, totally aware of that. I have tried to link to 
relevant forum posts and will try to add more as I go along to 
where the usages were concocted. So I guess those could be the 
motivations?

But it'd also be nice to just use it for a while and get feedback 
and experience with the names/APIs/functionalities/etc before 
adding it to std.meta. Though being in std would be ideal of 
course.
