Proposal: add method to claim pointer, or mutable reference to member of a introspected struct

Could you be more specific, please? What exactly do you propose, what goal you are trying to achieve?

[tema3210]

You are generating descriptive struct, but don't provide acessor to field itself, it would be much more useful if you add something like dictionary of string naming methods to struct storing offset of the field in introspectable struct. Provide unsafe method to acess the fields data, by taking the pointer to struct itself.
Think about type safety and borrow safety

This kind of Introspection would be useful for library authours.

Well, I have never been thinking about this crate much because I made it just for my own understanding of things, but you gave me a good task. To be honest, I have already been doing something like that in this crate but never committed and pushed, because the interface I was making was ugly. Now I have some better ideas and, perhaps, I will be able to produce something in the near future. However, I can't spend much time on this right now, so don't expect this to board just soon please.

See this, there my thoughts about interface. rust-lang/rfcs#2743
