Given that Go and Java use a form of UDA for assisting in 
serialisation, I don't see that the equivalent for D would be 
unacceptable.

One either writes complex schemes for per structure callbacks, or 
one uses simple annotation with UDA.  I know which I prefer, 
since it involves writing less code.
