Being able just add a type to a typelist and then have the appropriate 
helper functions generated would be nice but not a necessary.  So far 
I'm having to put some logic functions into my helper functions.

void putUint16(std::string const& variableName, uint16 const variable) {
    m_CurrentStructure->remove(variableName);                           
   //This function call is duplicated in every helper function.
    m_CurrentStructure->m_Uint16Map[variableName] = variable;   //This 
is needed in every helper function but the appropriate map is needs to 
be used.
}

Since all these helper functions are exactly the same except the map 
being called I was hoping to refactor to allow adding new type more easily.

By the way, what is a PP sequence?
