Description
Goal is to have ability to generate descriptive struct by macro(from std).
Reason is that in lot of crates there are impementations of compile time reflection not compatible with each other, so many developers just reinventing wheel.
Proposed features:
- The
Reflectortrait instd. - Implementation of derive macro.
- Unsafe
fn's to acess fields by name. - (Optional) Mechanism to store metadata of/for fields.
P.S I won't propose implementation, because i can't imagine brige between compile time generics and runtime logic.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the proposed Reflector trait, derive macro, unsafe field access functions, and optional field metadata mechanism in the issue. No files, tests, or implementation entry points are named; the work is done only after the scope and design bridge between compile-time generics and runtime logic are defined.
