Description

As a result of advanced metaprogramming capabilities, the description of the generated types can be very long. Descriptions of such types in error messages make it difficult to find the error message itself and often do not carry useful information. Example: https://forum.dlang.org/thread/kzevjbusdhizlucrvtzo@forum.dlang.org
Therefore, I propose to enter a parameter that allows you to shorten too long type definitions in error messages.
