Add TypeInfo functions analogs
#928

What functions need these, though? |

|
Tweaked |

Rebased and moved to |

| /** Templated setter to object's `init` state. | ||

| Use this function instead of dealing with tricky $(D typeid(T).init()). |

This doesn't say what the function does, only how it can be useful to advanced programmers.

Phobos' programmers must be advanced.

I would add that »dealing with tricky xyz« doesn't strike me as particularly descriptive (if you are just reading the docs, what tricky aspects of .init does it avoid)

All tricky aspects as TypeInfo has lots of them.
* add `std.conv.setToInitialState`
* add `std.conv.callPostblits` * add `std.conv.callDestructors`

Since this is non-public, ddoc should not be generated for it.

Yes. And where is the problem?

Don't use a ddoc comment if it's not supposed to end up in the documentation. Use a regular comment.

tricky? If a user doesn't know why, this comment doesn't help them at all.package anyway, so doc comment quality doesn't matter that much.
That's a misguided comment. druntime can have templates, and has some trivial templates. However, It has no access to traits or typetuple, making anything that does any kind of introspection, virtually impossible. Currently, there is (afaik) nothing in druntime that has a behavior dependent on introspection: This why we have the whole fiasco with "Is array appending safe or nothrow? Who knows!?". |

Closing as there is no activity for a whole year. |
It is needed for various Phobos functions.
Requires pull #924.
