We already have the capability to do that with the existing dmd 
and druntime - RTInfo is a template instantiated for each type, 
linked into TypeInfo, so we can extend it... if we are willing to 
edit object.d.

What is really nice about templating TypeInfo though is removing 
some annoying code from druntime and also being able to tweak 
that in constrained environments.... we can already add anything 
we want, being able to *remove* is what's going to be new.
