Thomas,

Wow, your library is so impressive.  You scan the running process for symbols,
wicked!  I am fascinated by how low level D programs can go, although I see you
using a little C there to pull it off.  And you made a Class class, yay!  The
Class.newInstance() method was very impressive.

Anyhow, there's many ways to skin a cat, and I see you're an expert cat skinner.
I look forward to seeing what you come up with next.  I still think if the
compiler did this work and generated type metadata code the reflection would
execute faster, but your solution is working today, so I guess I shouldn't
complain.  :)

Cheers,
Dave Woldrich
