Concerning this meta-interface declaration you might want to take a look at
the Mirror library, which can provide a lot of meta-data at both compile-time
and run-time.

Both the C++98 and C++0x versions are in the Boost Vault and the C++0x
version can be also found on sourceforge:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/mirror-lib/

the docs for the new version can be found here (though they are nowhere
near to finished, yet)
