In the past I had eventually imagined that `__traits()` could be 
a god mode, with a kind of "omnipotence". You can get everything 
you want but you can also choose to respect the visibility (since 
`__traits()` also permits to get this information). The rationale 
is that since finally code based on`__traits()`, i.e meta-prog, 
is usually very heavy to write you get get in exchange the 
omnipotence.
