That, however, means integrating a (mostly) complete C++ compiler or 
interpreter into the reflection library (mostly in that it can 
interpret/compile an intermediate form instead of real source). 
Complexity and licensing aside, a compiler is also inherently 
unportable. It would be a fascinating project, to be sure, but vast.
