New 'standard' makes C++ more like C++ committee's own language game. 
C++ is dying, and fast.

I'm subscribed to C++ on Sea's channel <https://www.youtube.com/@cpponsea>
and watched this video when it came out.  Direct video link:

The addition of reflection in C++26 is a really good starting point
for automating some tedious tasks.  Things like enum-to-string and
string-to-enum code that's annoying to keep up-to-date as the enum set
evolves.  At previous employers, we had an XML data model file and ran
a code generator tool from the Java world on the XML file to produce C++
source files which were added to our repository.  (We were generating
protobuf message structures from the data model, among other things.)
I could easily see C++26 reflection facilities making this simpler.

I agree with Herb that we're only just starting to see the power of
the reflection facilities added to C++26.  There are already some
libraries cropping up on github that look interesting.

However, I would plead with the authors of such libraries to document
their libraries!  I came across several libraries that looked
"interesting" but didn't provide any tests, examples or documentation
for the reflection feature they purported to implement, such as
dependency injection.
