If you create a new symbol, i.e. "Foo" then it would obey the normal
look up rules.
This is a runtime system.
Says who? It doesn't need to be in D.
I don't see that it is cleaner - there's no particular reason why a new

For attributes with a single value this syntax sugar can be allowed (and
is in Java):
@serialize("Foo") int x;
I think that is clean.
