I'm kind of amazed how sort the code is and that you managed to support 
delegates. A suggestion, support classes without the mixin if they're 
not serialized through a base class reference.

I might have found a bug:

struct Foo
{
     int[] arr;
}

public void test0() {
     Foo src;
     src.arr = [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5];		
     auto dst = deepCopy(src);
	
     assert(src.arr is dst.arr); // passes, but should fail ?
}

The assert passes but should fail, otherwise it's not a deep copy.
