Three reasons:
1. Walter has enough on his plate already.
2. Using templates to do it is both cool and practical. It's probably easier
than hacking the compiler.
3. I find the fact that RTTI is such a black box and you can't customize it
without hacking the compiler, despite D's incredible compile-time introspection
facilities to be a weakness in the language.
