I've been long bothered that the builtin .tupleof and our own
abstractions Fields and RepresentationTypeTuple in std.traits -
all omit the essential information of field offsets. That makes
types that use align() to have the same .tupleof, Fields, and
RepresentationTypeTuple even though they shouldn't.
The right answer is Layout a tuple of (offset, type) pairs
describing entirely the memory layout of a type. We need such
for memory allocation, garbage collection, serialization, and
more.
The implementation turned out to be quite compact - 81 lines
including a compile-time mergesort. Destroy!

how does this deal with static members ?
