Well, since all of the necessary information is in the TypeInfo, not in the 
type itself, I don't see how you're going to do that. As I understand it, it's 
not the compiler that deals with all of that. It's druntime. So, without a 
major redesign, there's no way that the compiler is going to generate that 
stuff for you. That's druntime's job.
