Rationale (http://digitalmars.com/d/2.0/rationale.html) says:

But traits is explained under the language spec, http://digitalmars.com/d/2.0/traits.html.


Can I expect traits to exist for all compiler implementations, or just dmd?

__traits was an experiment, one that is highly successful, and will likely be a permanent part of the language.

It has been suggested that we choose a keyword to replace __traits, meta was one such suggestion that I like. AFAIK, Walter hasn't really commented on it.
