Aha. I get it now. In this case, no. The main purpose of the library is "live" object mutation. Compile-time types while maintaining the previous goal are not planned.
I can see this library as an interesting part of a game engine, in particular because it let the C++ code be static while allow script code or editor code to change the objects nature on the fly.
I don't have much time but I recognize it could be interesting to see in practice (in my domain which is games) how it works. I don't know if it would be interesting in other domains than interactive media.
I'd say that any big project with complex objects could benefit from this. Indeed games and game engines are a prime example of such a project, but there are many others. Any software that has optional dynamic library plug-ins, for example. I can also see this working great for most CAD systems, graph editors, project management tools, and many others. -- Borislav
