It's all nice and well, but I believe part of the reason of say

That's not the way it is right now in D: if you use the
reflection traits, you can see and access private members.
Worse yet, the way it is now, there's no way to tell
they are marked private when using reflection!
Awful.
That's one of the reasons why I want to add this - it
lets us check.
I remember asking if private members should be hidden from
reflection before, and the answer was no - I think it had
to do with them being useful for serialization and stuff
like that.
Now I get it, traits hasIndirections would need it too, and it's too big
a feat to lose it.
