Yeah I think mine is more about being able to provide a `host()` helper function instead of a `.get(.host)` meta function. It is somewhat boilerplate-y. I think it's really a matter of taste haha. Likely yours would be useful regardless if this is done a lot, since it abstracts some of it, if one wants that.

I've entertained further expanding this API to expose a comptime generated struct of pointers. From the Connection use-case detailed in the article, it would look something like this:

  pub fn getPtrs(self: Self) struct {
      client: *Client,
      host: []u8,
      read_buffer: []u8,
      write_buffer: []u8,
  } {
      return .{
          client: self.get(.client),
          host: self.get(.host),
          read_buffer: self.get(.read_buffer),
          write_buffer: self.get(.write_buffer),
      }
  }

I haven't done this because I'm not yet convinced it's worth the added complexity
