So reflected_property itself is not a template class, but has a
templated constructor?  I wasn't aware that was legal.

Do you have an implementation of this that I can examine?  I'm not
seeing anything obvious in the win32gui codebase.  I'm just trying to
understand how this would be implemented, and am drawing a blank.  Any
examples would be greatly appreciated.

I do apologize if this is all plainly obvious to some people, but I'm
having difficulty getting it through my thick skull.
