Also good for accelerating serialiation - maintaining "POD"-ness for types  
and propogating this up the tree, so you can trim off the serialisation of  
whole branches and replace with straight reads when loading from a binary  
format.

That said, an advantage of generic reflection is that you can use the same  
data to e.g. do serialisation, or to load in blocks of memory and fixup  
pointers. In theory at least, in practice the load/save methodology tends  
to contaminate the reflection to some extent.
