It seems that it would be very hard to achieve any decent syntax :-(

For example, how would we handle commas _inside_ the parameters:

REGISTER_SPEC((class T), (A<)(vector<T*, allocator<T*> >))
                                                             ^^^^^^^^^^
Breaking at every comma and placing every part into the sequence element
just to pass in an unstructured string?
