[bolts] bolts.functioneditor - module for building function mixins?

[Jean-Louis Leroy]

Hi Ali (and anyone interested).

While implementing support for function attributes and parameter 
storage classes in 'openmethods', then working on my new 
'ducktyping' library (golang-style interfaces), I came up with a 
module that helps with creating function mixins derived from an 
existing function. Since it is used in two distinct projects, I 
want to put it in a library of its own.

It seems to me that this is the sort of things that bolts is all 
about. What do you think of taking it in?

You can see some code here:
https://github.com/jll63/openmethods.d/blob/using-function-editor/source/openmethods_functioneditor.d
I suggest you take a look at the unit test at the bottom. Real 
usage here: 
https://github.com/jll63/openmethods.d/blob/using-function-editor/source/openmethods.d, search for occurrences of Editor.

It's still a work in progress but I am opening the discussion now 
because I will need permission from my employer. Which I will 
certainly get (they are very open-source friendly), but I will 
have to go through a bit of red tape and I will need to specify, 
in the ticket, whether I will be contributing to an existing 
open-source project (in case the module becomes part of bolts), 
or I will be leading a new project.
