Can the Enum.x methods be code generated instead of using reflection?

[Shadowblitz16]

I saw there was a library that introduced fast versions of the Enum.x methods using code generation which sped it up around 10x.

Can we get that implemented as part of .net?

Infact why not just reimplemented reflection completely using code generators?

Then it would work with aot.

The compiler could check if something is using members from typeof or GetType and only generate it then, that way we don't get a bloated executable.

This is not a language question, it is a runtime one. You can raise over at dotnet/runtime. Thanks :)

Because that would only handle a small fraction of the scenarios currently handled by reflection.
