I think we need a comprehensive solution that doesn't depend so heavily on reflection, if anything. A Coin proposal needs to be small, but it also needs to be a good, tasteful, generally useful solution, and it shouldn't preclude future better solutions. I'm sorry, but I read through your proposal and didn't find it very attractive in general, so I'm not interested in debating it point by point. Bob

By that arguement we never do anything because any solution will never be perfect. If the full solution is not available I would rather have a half way house that fulfills my need than wait indefinitely (and I call 5 years as near to indefinitely as matters). I need compiler checkability for field references now.
