Originally the idea pop up in my head when I was thinking if it was 
possible to implement, in library code, the magic meta namespace the 
community has been talking about a couple of times in the past.

Something like this:

import std.meta;

class Foo
{
     void bar (){}
}

auto methods = Foo.meta.methods;
