Can you provide some examples of how this works? Can you describe the support required on the target? Traditionally this sort of thing is done by compiling some simple language (e.g., IDL) into C or other languages. What advantages does your scheme have over that approach? To me this seems like the kind of thing which would be nicely addressed by an optional plugin--if we had plugins. Ian
