If you just fix the second part (that you can now retrieve all members of std), doesn't it fix the problem? -Steve Main problem is that allMembers returns strings and you can't tell if member is an import from it. If it returned aliases then you could do is(m == module), etc.

One unfortunate sideeffect of allMembers change is that it breaks
this king of loop:
```
foreach(m; __traits(allMembers, M)) { // M is module
alias member = __traits(getMember, M, m); // now fails
because std.stdio is not a member of M
}
```
To fix I needed to rewrite it as:
```
foreach(m; __traits(allMembers, M)) { // M is module
static if (__traits(compiles, __traits(getMember, M, m)))
alias member = __traits(getMember, M, m);
}
```

I wish we had zero-dependence distributions of all compilers for Windows. I want to redist compiler with my application for easy modding.

The idea is to make documenting D projects as simple as possible, to the point where you don't need to do any work to get documentation for your project other than adding it to the DUB registry. Also, users can now browse documentation for DUB projects even if the author was too lazy to generate it themselves (assuming thy did include some documentation comments). Note that this is still in a very early stage, it was put together in a very quick-and-dirty style by a person with little webdev experience.

It would be nice to have a side-by-side comparison with http://msgpack.org/ which is in current use by a couple existing D projects, include D Completion Daemon (DCD) and a few of mine. There is a comparison to msgpack here (and to other formats too): http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7049#appendix-E.2 which states: [MessagePack] is a concise, widely implemented counted binary serialization format, similar in many properties to CBOR, although somewhat less regular. While the data model can be used to represent JSON data, MessagePack has also been used in many remote procedure call (RPC) applications and for long-term storage of data. MessagePack has been essentially stable since it was first published around 2011; it has not yet had a transition. The evolution of MessagePack is impeded by an imperative to maintain complete backwards compatibility with existing stored data, while only few bytecodes are still available for extension. Repeated requests over the years from the MessagePack user community to separate out binary text strings in the encoding recently have led to an extension proposal that would leave MessagePack's raw data ambiguous between its usages for binary and text data. The extension mechanism for MessagePack remains unclear.

Concise Binary Object Representation (CBOR) binary serialization library.
The Concise Binary Object Representation (CBOR) is a data format
whose design goals include the possibility of extremely small code
size, fairly small message size, and extensibility without the
need
for version negotiation. These design goals make it different
from
earlier binary serializations such as ASN.1 and MessagePack.
Here is more info about format: http://cbor.io/
You can easily encode and decode things like built-in types,
arrays, hash-maps, structs, tuples, classes, strings and raw
arrays (ubyte[]).
Here is some simple code:
import cbor;
struct Inner
{
int[] array;
string someText;
}
struct Test
{
ubyte b;
short s;
uint i;
long l;
float f;
double d;
ubyte[] arr;
string str;
Inner inner;
void fun(){} // not encoded
void* pointer; // not encoded
int* numPointer; // not encoded
}
ubyte[1024] buffer;
size_t encodedSize;
Test test = Test(42, -120, 11, -123456789, 0.1234,
-0.987654,
cast(ubyte[])[1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8], It is a test string,
Inner([1,2,3,4,5], Test of inner struct));
encodedSize = encodeCborArray(buffer[], test);
// ubyte[] and string types are slices of input ubyte[].
Test result = decodeCborSingle!Test(buffer[0..encodedSize]);
// decodeCborSingleDup can be used to auto-dup those types.
assert(test == result);

DX9, DX11, Desktop OpenGL and OpenGL ES can be used from the same abstraction. I believe it to be useful and risk-mitigating for games. To allows this feat, a shader language and compiler is included in the original library there: https://github.com/bkaradzic/bgfx Using the derelict-bgfx package, you would have to build bgfx as a dynamic library and the associated shader compiler. bgfx is decoupled from the windowing library. It can be used through the likes of SDL and GLFW, provided a OS-dependent window handle is given. That is awesome!
