I slightly prefer this function method over the struct method because:
1) No need to generate a custom struct for everything. Plenty of things
are just a true or false, or a string. Saves a little bit of TypeInfo
generation.
If the type isn't used at runtime, the compiler should be able to
remove that dead part of the code. If it doesn't, it is an
implementation issue, and shouldn't be solved by language design
decision.
This is not possible currently. The TypeInfo is required at runtime
whether or not the type is used at compile-time, for reasons such as
Object.factory.
Object.factory is limited to classes IIRC.
