Hi NX,

Thanks for the document.  A lot of what you say about UDA and 
compile time reflection is absolutely true.  We should fix it so 
it isn't so darn convoluted.

w/ regards to __traits() those are call outs to the compiler and 
generally should not be used directly.  Thus std.traits, and why 
they're prefixed with __.  Unfortunately, the current state of 
compile time reflection requires that you must use __traits 
directly (at least, I've had to)

However, I can't agree with you about alias this, UFCS, or global 
functions in phobos.  The "idiomatic" way to code in D is use 
local named imports.  e.g.:

void main() {
    import std.stdio : writeln;
    writeln("Hello world!");
}
