That's admirably brief! I assume you're generating code rather than data  
though - which tends to be more verbose, or at least it does for me.

One trick I found helpful to avoid identifier repetition was to move some  
commas inside macros, to avoid having to specify the parent name twice in  
IMPLEMENT_BEGIN/IMPLEMENT_END and still avoid explict arity:

// rtti.h - detail elided
#define COMPOUND(name) static const member_t members[];
#define RTTI(name, members) const member_t name::members[] = { members {  
NULL, ... } };
#define MEMBER(name) { #name, ... },

// foo.h
struct foo
{
COMPOUND(foo)

int x, y, z;
};

// foo.cpp - essentially generates const member_t foo::members[] = { ... };
RTTI(foo, MEMBER(x) MEMBER(y) MEMBER(z))

Cheers,

Will
