As far as I understand from that discussion it this feature was 
not accepted because of template bloat. Am I wrong? But it could 
be very useful in situations. Another way is to create specific 
parser that will parse some JSON-like DSL and genetate some code 
after it that will create specific data structure. But I think it 
not so nice an will lead to creation of different flavours and 
parsers for such DSL's.
