In fact, I was trying to use traits to create the tuple
automatically and being able to add or remove methods to the
struct without breaking the asTuple method.
I used allMembers for the name of the methods, but I didn't found
anything for their return types or their values.

Thank you.

These are interesting and can be useful, but allMembers returns strings
and not functions, so I can't apply ReturnType.

It's a *compile time* string. D is able to do some amazing things with this :)

// assuming 'a' is the first member
mixin("alias aReturnType = ReturnType!(Example." ~ __traits(allMembers, Example)[0] ~ ");");
static assert(is(aReturnType == int));

Using foreach over allMembers, you can construct a perfect return tuple using introspection and mixin.

I would never have thought about mixins, this is amazing ! But thinking at compile time still is a little difficult for me, and now I don't understand how you can construct your tuple. I've been trying to create a string, by iterating on allMembers and concatenating the result of my functions in a string. But of course, I cannot use this string at compile time.

Now I know there is a way t do it, but my brain just can't figure it out.

Can you help me ?
