I guess I was thinking of "Programming by Example" (Java Window
Builder Pro and XAML type of stuff). In order to implement those
properly, bidirectionally (JavaBeans uses a hack inside the comments)
the language must support Introspection, or at the very least,
Reflection, right?

That is why C# has such a nice graphical generating code tool, but C++
(in the same IDE) lacks it.

Somehow I see the period issue as related.
