Just so you know, I'm strongly wondering if you could implement a serialization
library(e.g. boost::serialization) using Reflex. No doubt it should have that
capability. Not only would this be a good example that illustrates the power of
your framework, it would contribute a much-easier-to-use serialization library
as well, considering that boost::serialization is a little inconvenient to use.
