Hey everyone,

I'm looking into vibe-d, particularly how to build a REST API server.
Given this struct:
```
struct Project
{
    string project_id;
    string name;
}
```
I could write a GETter like this:
```
@path("projects/:project_id")
Project getProject(string _project_id);
```
and a POST could look like this:
```
Project postProjects(string project_id, string name);
```

So far so good, this works.
What I don't like about the POST, though, is that I have to repeat `struct Project`'s members in the parameter list. This is redundant and will be inconvenient every time the struct changes, especially on ones with many members.

What I would prefer to have is something like this:
```
Project postProjects(Project project);
```
This is possible, the problem is that the POST request body now must look like this
```
{
project: {
        "project_id": "dummy_id",
        "name": "dummy"
    }
}
```
rather than simply this
```
{
    "project_id": "dummy_id",
    "name": "dummy"
}
```

So my question is, is it possible to have vibe-d parse the request body into a struct "implicitly"?

I hope the explanation was understandable. :)
Any help would be much appreciated.

Cheers,
bomat
