This is precisely what a separate reflection library would allow us to do. I think we should decide either to back the serialization/persistence library with a reflection library, or someone should propose an alternative that is equally flexible. I think that if in particular we include versioning support in the reflection library, it would allow for automatic serialization in many cases (i.e. with only the reflection meta-data). Please refer to my previous post regarding this. - Jeremy Maitin-Shepard _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe & other changes: http://lists.boost.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/boost
