I've been looking at the comments in the review threads.  Sometime ago I 
reviewed the documentation for the AFIO library.  I sat in on two 
presentations on the subject at C++Now.  That is all I know about the 
library.  Sadly, I won't have time to make a review.

The above comment is the only thing in all of this which has made any 
sense at all to me.  I don't see why something like the above shouldn't 
be possible and I don't see why it would be a bad idea.  A library which 
did this would be highly useful.
