Here is a simple way of adding __traits based runtime reflection to D 
classes:

(requires DMD 2.004, by Jascha W.)

which is in fact compile-time to run-time reflection....
IMO the advantage of using this kind of runtime reflection is that you 
decide where runtime reflection is needed. (without producing too much 
bloat)
Well it requires D2 but Walter seems to be optimistic that we'll have a 
stable D2 at the end of the year.
