I've been recently drafting some interfaces for purely compile-time
reflection framework. It will clearly need a compiler support to implement;
the current plan is to prototype it in GCC. It's an on-and-off project,
though :).

Well, come to think about it, I am not sure if any information one wants to
get from a reflection framework _requires_ a run-time interface. You might
want to have some convenience wrappers, e.g. for conventional run-time
iteration, but basically that seems to be it.
