Could you give me a link to a good C++ reflection framework? I'm not  
a heavy user of C++, so I don't have
an overview of that field.
The Objective-C/C++ integration works ok for the most part, and it  
actually is pretty easy to separate it out into
a C++-only part and then integrate it back via some wrapper classes.  
It ain't pretty, and I would avoid it if
possible, since compilation is pretty slow and you get all the nasty C 
++-ishness into your pretty code ;)

FWIW, I plan on doing an Obj-C version, so I don't know if the  
necessity of a C++/Obj-C hybrid version arises.

Well, you'd probably write a good-sized subset of the ObjC runtime  
(which is written in C) or another
class-simulation in C. shudder.
