Games often need high-performance data metadata, more than business or 
device driver development. A high-performance compile-time and run-time 
introspection feature in C++ would be great; especially if it could be 
integrated with templates! The compiler already has all the information; 
the standards people just don't want to add the necessary accessors to 
class type_info :-(
