Well, yes, I do know about D attributes. Creating the attributes is easy. 
Integrating them into the editor and build system is the tricky part. For 
instance, it could be the case that the editor is hard-coded to accept 
fields only from C++ source code. There's some amount of code generation 
going on, and I don't know how to replicate that in D. I don't know if 
it's even documented.

Contrast that with, say, Urho3D, where there's not much to do besides 
wrapping C++ types and functions.
