Nice post, interesting usage.  Some edits:

- "That true" -> "That's true"

- add two commas: "accessible annotations, similar to UDAs (User-Defined Attributes) were" -> "accessible, annotations, similar to UDAs (User-Defined Attributes), were"

- There's no resolution to the Flag type issue: you should say whether you filed a bug, as you did with the issue in the private classes section, or if you were able to work around it.

We asked in the forum whether this is a bug:
https://forum.dlang.org/thread/igsxmowtguwvngnqullx@forum.dlang.org

The answer was ... inconclusive.

So, we worked around the problem:
