In particular the practice of adding new members based on introspecting 
other members is suspect. I've done it too, but I think it probably 
would be better if we didn't allow this kind of stuff, or came up with a 
sane way to do this.

This leads to all kinds of weird stuff. Like if you instantiate a 
template with the current type being compiled, that template is locked 
to that type *at that point in compilation*. Then you look at it outside 
the type, and the value is already cached.
