Second to none reflection.

Instead of disparate ways of getting things done with fragmented 
APIs (__traits, std.traits, custom code), I’d like for there to 
be a library that centralizes all reflection needs with a great 
API. I’m currently working on it.
```

I believe <https://code.dlang.org/packages/mirror> is the work he 
is referring to. Looking at the code, it seems something that 
should a whole host of new coding patterns.

The DUB score of the package is 2.2, so I quess Atila is not the 
only one using it. I'd like to hear experiences of anybody who is 
using the package. How do you use it and is it good for that?

I haven't announced it yet because I don't think it's quite ready 
for consumption. Still a lot to figure out about the API and even 
functionality where CTFE is concerned. Unfortunately I haven't 
had time to finish it since I've been concentrating on template 
instantiation issues in the compiler.
