As far as I can determine, __traits and std.traits do not currently give you
the means to determine the access modifier for a given type or function - i.e.
private, package, protected, or public. There are times when that information
is necessary to verify APIs with unit tests, and it could matter for generated
code which could need to know what the public API without mixing the other
functions or variables in which have other access levels.

Please add a function or set of functions (or trait argument for __traits)
which gives access to that information.
