Don't know if that's flexible enough :-(.

Another idea I had yesterday would be to have one set of functions that
when called record meta-info about types. That could be done on startup.
Generic scan and mirror function could then interpret that meta-info.
;-).

Code generation would be my personal favourite, though.

And I was sooo close to doing it in C++ in the beginning. I think I
could do that sh*t with templates, too. Too bad.

Ceterum censeo Emacs should allow C++.
