It sounds pretty interesting:)
I extremely hoped that C++ would have reflection at, maybe, C++0x or so.
So I wish your library can make its way into boost, and, finally, into C++
standard  library.

BTW, to me, it seems the user-interface of the library needs some further
refinement though, and there's quite a lack of documents.
