	FIXME:
		overloads can be done as an object representing the overload set
		tat opCall does the dispatch. Then other overloads can actually
		be added more sanely.
	
	FIXME:
		instantiate template members when reflection with certain
		arguments if marked right...


	FIXME:
		pointer to member functions can give a way to wrap things

		we'll pass it an opaque object as this and it will unpack and call the method

		we can also auto-generate getters and setters for properties with this method

		and constructors, so the script can create class objects too

	jsvar provides a D type called [var] that works similarly to the same in Javascript.

	It is weakly (even weaker than JS, frequently returning null rather than throwing on
	an invalid operation) and dynamically typed, but interops pretty easily with D itself:

	---
	var a = 10;
	a ~= "20";
		assert(a == "1020");

	var a = function(int b, int c) { return b+c; };
	// note the second set of () is because of broken @property
	assert(a()(10,20) == 30);

	var a = var.emptyObject;
	a.foo = 30;
	assert(a["foo"] == 30);

	var b = json!q{
		"foo":12,
		"bar":{"hey":[1,2,3,"lol"]}
	};

	assert(b.bar.hey[1] == 2);
	---


	You can also use [var.fromJson], a static method, to quickly and easily
	read json or [var.toJson] to write it.

	Also, if you combine this with my [arsd.script] module, you get pretty
	easy interop with a little scripting language that resembles a cross between
	D and Javascript - just like you can write in D itself using this type.

	Please note that function default arguments are NOT likely to work in the script.
	You'd have to use a helper thing that I haven't written yet. opAssign can never
	do it because that information is lost when it becomes a pointer. ParamDefault
	is thus commented out for now.


	Properties:
	$(LIST
		* note that @property doesn't work right in D, so the opDispatch properties
		  will require double parenthesis to call as functions.

		* Properties inside a var itself are set specially:
			obj.propName._object = new PropertyPrototype(getter, setter);
	)

	D structs can be turned to vars, but it is a copy.

	Wrapping D native objects is coming later, the current ways suck. I really needed
	properties to do them sanely at all, and now I have it. A native wrapped object will
	also need to be set with _object prolly.

		But, how do we mark properties in var? Can we make them work this way in D too?
	0) add global functions to the object (or at least provide a convenience function to make a pre-populated global object)
	1) ensure operator precedence is sane
	2) a++ would prolly be nice, and def -a
	4) switches?
	10) __FILE__ and __LINE__ as default function arguments should work like in D
	16) stack traces on script exceptions
	17) an exception type that we can create in the script

	14) import???????/ it could just attach a particular object to the local scope, and the module decl just giving the local scope a name
		there could be a super-global object that is the prototype of the "global" used here
		then you import, and it pulls moduleGlobal.prototype = superGlobal.modulename... or soemthing.

		to get the vars out in D, you'd have to be aware of this, since you pass the superglobal
		hmmm maybe not worth it

		though maybe to export vars there could be an explicit export namespace or something.


	6) gotos? labels? labeled break/continue?
	18) what about something like ruby's blocks or macros? parsing foo(arg) { code } is easy enough, but how would we use it?

		Gets the var converted to type `T` as best it can. `T` may be constructed
		from `T.fromJsVar`, or through type conversions (coercing as needed). If
		`T` happens to be a struct, it will automatically introspect to convert
		the var object member-by-member.

		History:
			On April 21, 2020, I changed the behavior of

			---
			var a = null;
			string b = a.get!string;
			---

			Previously, `b == "null"`, which would print the word
			when writeln'd. Now, `b is null`, which prints the empty string,
			which is a bit less user-friendly, but more consistent with
			converting to/from D strings in general.

			If you are printing, you can check `a.get!string is null` and print
			null at that point if you like.

			I also wrote the first draft of this documentation at that time,
			even though the function has been public since the beginning.

	EXPERIMENTAL

	Allows you to make a class available to the script rather than just class objects.
	You can subclass it in script and then call the methods again through the original
	D interface. With caveats...


	Assumes ALL $(I virtual) methods and constructors are scriptable, but requires
	`@scriptable` to be present on final or static methods. This may change in the future.

	Note that it has zero support for `@safe`, `pure`, `nothrow`, and other attributes
	at this time and will skip that use those. I may be able to loosen this in the
	future as well but I have no concrete plan to at this time. You can still mark
	them as `@scriptable` to call them from the script, but they can never be overridden
	by script code because it cannot verify those guarantees hold true.

	Ditto on `const` and `immutable`.

	Its behavior on overloads is currently undefined - it may keep only any random
	overload as the only one and do dynamic type conversions to cram data into it.
	This is likely to change in the future but for now try not to use this on classes
	with overloaded methods.

	It also does not wrap member variables unless explicitly marked `@scriptable`; it
	is meant to communicate via methods.
