I don't know about the source file, per se, but std.traits has 
the fullQualifiedName!() template, which you could go on to parse 
for the package and module of a type. Or just use the packageName 
and moduleName templates instead.

I don't believe this is possible. Perhaps you would be able to
generate the .json file and use that at runtime, but I don't know
if even that will handle situations like using mixins.

How about adding

__traits(sourceFile, T)
__traits(sourceLine, T)
__traits(sourceColumn, T)

to DMD?

T of course must be a user-defined type.
