smarter reflection issue

[Lloyd Dupont]

Hi Jesse, this won't work!
It's my fault in not explaining my problem well though...

I forget to mention something...
I'm using property syntax and try to call the method

Say I have
=====
private int _foo;
@property public int Foo() { return _foo; }
@property public void Foo(int value) { _foo = value; }
=====
if I call MEMBER(MyClass, "Foo")
I'd like to do some static test for "int Foo()" and "void Foo(int)"

So... how will I go on solving that?

MemberDesc MEMBER(T, string memberName)() if(std.traits.hasMember!(T, 
memberName))
{
...
}
