D's template syntax is vastly superior to C++...

C++ has post pended vtable pointers on class objects, its 
unlikely good reflection can ever be added to the language, as 
the vtable may be in a different place in every object their is 
no way to access it universally for object type information. Some 
Compile time type reflection might be possible, But I bet it ends 
up being flimsy.
