I may undertake this, but for C# not java (as that's where I need it). I asked about Java because I'm looking for the 'thrifty' way to do this pattern, since it should probably be fairly similar across language-stubs. Aside from that, I figure the C# stub patterns should be pretty similar to the Java stub patterns.
I won't need this for at least a few months in my project, but I will need it eventually. I'll re-engage when this becomes an issue I need to tackle. also, I see now that Erik's C++ patch was updated and submitted in JIRA... https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-579
