Yep this is what I am doing now. Not the first time I have 
written a serializer in D using traits(allMembers) but its old 
and not well maintained. I was attracted to Mir because it can do 
text and binary. I was hoping to use text for development and 
switch to binary for release. But I will just write my own, it 
might be a little more work but it's not so bad if I don't try to 
handle indirection and allocation. Just structs, getter/setters 
that return structs, and input/output ranges for iterables.
