I.e. the problem with the toggles is, that they are toggles only. It is impossible to return both static and not-static members, which especially for functions is useful In general it is impossible to return ALL members, e.g. `boost::mp11::mp_for_each` could be useful, especially for a compiler implementation

I've been thinking about that, and i believe reversing the modifiers could give a cleaner interface for doing it. ie, something like: describe_members --> returns everything describe_members --> returns only the function, whatever their visibility is, and whether they are inherited or not. describe_members --> returns only the members (data or functions) that are not inherited describe_members --> returns only the members (data or functions) that are not static describe_members --> returns only the data members that are not inherited and not static (could be provided as an alias, mod_filter_self_data_members_only) From what i have seen, it may event be built on top of the current describe machinery (there is, i believe, pretty much everything in the details namespace to implement it without touching the macros and the current model).
