Are you proposing that we replace std.traits or that std.reflection be built on 
top of it?

Having std.reflection will be awesome for a lot of stuff - particularly the more 
complicated stuff - and would be a great addition to Phobos, but it seems like 
overkill for a lot of basic template constraints, so I wouldn't want to see it 
replace std.traits.
