You guys might be interested to see how the Comet library
(http://www.lambdasoft.dk/comet) handles this problem:
It does use macros to help in implementing the library , but they are 
not part of the "interface" to the library.

To declare a type list in Comet you write something like this:

comet::make_list<int, float, double, std::string>::result

Here's the definition of make_list:

What's wrong with this approach? Is it failing on point #2?
