Yes, this is very true.

Regarding what I suggested w/ Spirit, we would probably want to provide the
parser w/ more than a dummy generator.  It would of course have to spit out
ORB-specific code.

Would be very cool if you could specify different generators for different
ORBs, or something like that.

True to some extent.  It's not that difficult to multiplex calls to
orb::run() or just give the orb its own thread.

If you have a nice modern C++ ORB implemented, then by all mean, make it
available.
