D's declarations are all order-independent, in theory those
foreaches are done simultaneously, so it is kinda a race
condition.
Thank you, that's what I thought, but then I started adding them
and there was no warning and I was like "wait... is this
top-down???"
In practice, the compiler does them in two passes but both
based on the same initial state.
Adding stuff and then reflecting over the stuff you add must be
done as explicit steps on the outside, like you can make a
`struct step1 {}` then `alias step2 = transform!step1;` then
`alias step3 = transform_again!step2;` or something.
Okay again makes more sense. The amount of stuff that was "kinda"
working, plus learning through tiny 3 liner code snippets in
docs, was making my brain explode a bit.
A constructor/factory pattern for this makes way more sense.
Sometimes it's hard to tell where things are symbolic /
functional, verses procedural/linear.
