I would like some more runtime reflection capabilities as well. It would 
be useful for serialization, be able to do something like this:

auto foo = new Foo;
auto cls = foo.classinfo;

foreach (f ; cls.fields)
{
     writeln(f.name);
     f.set = "some value";
     writeln(f.get);
}

This wouldn't hurt as well:

foreach (m ; cls.methods)
{
     writeln(f.name);
     f("some value");
}

foo.send("bar", "some value");
