I'd be interested in comments on an introspection library I've been developing.
You may find paper "Scrap++: Scrap Your Boilerplate in C++"[1] to be interesting for ideas. One thing that confuses me about your library is I don't know whether the reflections are semantic or syntactic. I do think a clear separation of syntax and semantics is important to writing clear code. Perhaps you can show what a shared_ptr "implementation of the concept" looks like? Fusion's adapters, which are purely syntactic, are perfect for what I've needed so far. Syntactically speaking, are you adding anything besides data inheritance?
