digitalmars.D - Iteration over structure fields and properties

I really appreciate traits and what they are introducing into the 
process. I'm curious how I can iterate over all fields of the 
structure (s.tupleof pretty much works for that) and properties 
while ignoring methods and sub data types that defined inside of 
structure (they defined only as type, not the field but of course 
they got into __traits(allMembers, S)). The idea is to use 
foreach to easily print into console something like:

fieldNameA: fieldValueA
fieldNameB: fieldValueB
...
propertyNameA: propertyValueA
...

You can use .tupleof and __traits(identifier) for this. -- /Jacob Carlborg

Would it work with: property int propertyNameA() And how to get key names then? As I remember tupleof return tuple of fields only, at least what I got how it works.

No, for that you need the traits getFunctionAttributes [1] (I think all functions are returned) and getFunctionAttributes [2].
 And how to get key names then? As I remember tupleof return tuple of 
 fields only, at least what I got how it works.
You index the tuple and use the "identifier" trait. [1] https://dlang.org/spec/traits.html#getVirtualFunctions [2] https://dlang.org/spec/traits.html#getFunctionAttributes -- /Jacob Carlborg
