How do I get the protection status of function in another module?

Basically I have some code that loops through all the members of 
another module and I want to be able to skip the ones that are 
private.

The code below prints public for foo.

module A;

private void foo();

--------------------------------

module B;

import A;

void main()
{
     import std.stdio : writeln;

     foreach(member; __traits(allMembers, A))
     {
         writeln(member);
         writeln(__traits(getProtection, member));
     }
}

I had known that, but I couldn't figure out how to get the 
identifiers. It turns out that I can loop over getOverloads and 
it produces the desired result (below).

module B;

import A;

void main()
{
     import std.stdio : writeln;

     foreach(member; __traits(allMembers, A))
     {
         foreach (t; __traits(getOverloads, A, member))
         {
             writeln(__traits(getProtection, t));
         }
     }
}

The following compiles without error. It would be nice if 
something like this got added to std.traits.

template getProtection(string from, string member)
{
     mixin("static import " ~ from ~ ";");
     enum string getProtection =
                   mixin("__traits(getProtection, " ~ from ~ "." ~ 
member ~ ")");
}

 safe unittest
{
     assert(getProtection!("std.algorithm", "map") == "public");
}
