Afterwards I discussed it with several people including Dean Michael Berris, who is the co-author of n3340 "Rich pointers" and is also interested in adding run-time (and static) reflection to C++. We've decided that we merge the ideas from my paper into his proposal (which has not happened yet and will probably take a while).
Compile-time reflection may be more inline with the spirit of C++, specifically the preference of no-overhead abstractions. Be careful with binding your work too closely with runtime reflection -- don't let it sink your proposal. This might be even more dangerous given that both proposals are quite heavy and will probably take years to mature. Roman.
