The new TypeInfo design offers some interesting opportunities. Some of them are possible if we break some of the existing compatibility. The documented types are:

TypeInfo: https://dlang.org/library/object/type_info.html

TypeInfo_Class: https://dlang.org/library/object/type_info__class.html

I wonder to what extent people are using other undocumented derivatives of TypeInfo such as TypeInfo_Struct.

Weka does not appear to use any. (only TypeInfo_Class in one instance, but only copying it, not accessing the members)
