My first comment would be to put this on the wiki so we can all comment 
on it and discuss it.

The second comment I would have is it seems strange to me that you 
dismiss the idea of a DSL by introducing a proposed API with 
deficiencies that you don't like and they saying "see it is bad".  I 
think there is a way around each of these issues and from what I see of 
the interface you created I already submitted a ~5 line patch that you 
rejected that would add this ability to the existing interface.

The last comment is that I still don't see how you think the template 
support could be done this way with gccxml and pygccxml in the mix.  I 
don't see a  way around the two phased approach.

Anyway, if you move this to the wiki for discussion I will comment on it 
directly.
