With this design we unify compile-time and run-time type manipulation in

Please chime in with thoughts.
Are you proposing that we replace std.traits or that std.reflection be built on
top of it?
On top. std.reflection would be a complete reflection solution, whereas
std.traits gives casual type traits as needed.
Having std.reflection will be awesome for a lot of stuff - particularly the more
complicated stuff - and would be a great addition to Phobos, but it seems like
overkill for a lot of basic template constraints, so I wouldn't want to see it
replace std.traits.
My thoughts exactly.
