Do you use the LDC compiler?
LDC has the pragmas:
pragma(no_typeinfo): You can use this pragma to stop typeinfo from
being implicitly generated for a declaration.
pragma(no_moduleinfo): You can use this pragma to stop moduleinfo from
being implicitly generated for a declaration.
Sounds great. They should be standard.
I've never used those yet, I'll try them soon.
But you meant something more global, module-wide. Maybe you can ask to
LDC devs. I agree that having standard and not compiler-specific
features is better.

I would much prefer these to be compiler switches, so you can make them
global with very little effort.
That's a completely different use case, I think. For internal modules,
the existence of that module is an implementation detail, and shouldn't
be externally visible even through reflection, IMHO.
