I think much of this functionality could be shared with serialization. A 
few questions and comments.

* Are array slices properly handled
* I think there need to be a way to explicitly say that a given field 
and a whole struct shouldn't be duped
* All the public strings used for mixins should be templates

Orange serialization library, supports classes as well:
