I appreciate you looking in to it instead of writing it off. It 
basically proves my point that there are issues with D. These 
issues tend too be subtle and creep in to code and then that 
causes problems. I have been thrown off several times and when 
things don't work out I assume it is my code and when it's not 
I've already trashed my code trying to figure out what was wrong 
with it. These are the real problems with D and they come from 
two things: Not having a uniform and direct interface for 
reflection. Not having proper unit testing done for traits.

D is so heavy in meta programming that maybe it is time for a 
proper solution?
