(apologies for being very late to this party, i've not been too well 
recently)

not that i know of but it sounds like the kind of crazy tool that 
really needs to exist!

i'm sure that this kind of thing has lots of potential uses out there.

mix in a few functors and you'd have a really cool transformation 
engine.

there are times when folks are more than a little frustrated by 
beanutil's lack of expressiveness when it comes to mapping presentation 
to domain objects. reflection is slow but isn't usually the bottleneck 
in typical applications. if it is, then there are plenty of cool ways 
to fix it now (generate either source or bytecodes).

anyone else out there enthused by this idea?
