2 points:
1) Are you aware of this:
https://github.com/dlang/phobos/blob/master/std/meta.d ? I
think if a bunch of good motivating examples are given, making
this public would be possible. Then everyone would be using
the same one and your library would truly just be utilities.
Thanks! And yes, totally aware of that. I have tried to link to
relevant forum posts and will try to add more as I go along to
where the usages were concocted. So I guess those could be the
motivations?
But it'd also be nice to just use it for a while and get feedback
and experience with the names/APIs/functionalities/etc before
adding it to std.meta. Though being in std would be ideal of
course.
woops, pressed send too early:
2) I don't think "doth" is synonymous with "is" how you're
using it. "doth" is for doing, e.g.
"Methinks he doth protest too much" or "This code doth stink"
is OK
"Green doth a colour" or "strstr doth a function" is not OK.
Dammit! You're right! Thank you for pointing that out.
Art! It's Art! ... or maybe i can use a hipster "is" ... i.e.
"iz" :p
