I'm certainly not going to upgrade to the next DMD if this change
is retained. allMembers not returning all members makes
introspection entirely useless when it comes to Binderoo.
The wrong conclusions were made from that bug to begin with it
seems. allMembers should return all members. getProtection should
report on the protection of a symbol *regardless* of whether
getMember will succeed or not (this is currently why I have my
PrivacyOf workaround - to stop the compiler crashing when using a
template instead of a mixin template to do introspection).
getMember itself, well, I'd honestly prefer if there was a way to
get to members without having to correlate with .tupleof as it
will simplify Binderoo code. The .tupleof method doesn't help me
when it comes to introspecting private/protected functions for
C++ binding.
