Hey, that's a great idea! Can we do this for DMD? :D

On a more serious note: do you think that with D's features (type 
system / metaprogramming), you could have avoided some of those 
bugs?

For example, one thing we can do in D which is still impossible 
in C++ is to automatically serialize/deserialize all fields of a 
struct/class (using tupleof / allMembers).
