That looks the closes to the python named parameters or the 
struct initializer.

For my use case this opDispatch trick seems to be more flexible 
than the named-parameters thing:

@(FieldProps().range(-360, 360).format("%.2f").caption("Turret 
rotation").unit("deg")) float alpha = 0;

for example if I use the name: "logRange" it can also set the 
isLogarithmic flag as a side effect to true inside the FieldProps 
struct. Just by choosing a slightly different name.

With this idealized format it would be not possible:
@FieldProps{ range: {-360, 360}, format:"%.2f", caption:"Turret 
rotation", unit:"deg"} float alpha = 0;

The more work inside the struct is not a problem, because I'm 
willing to use it from 1000 places. Also __traits(allMembers) can 
help.

Thank you!
