I'm curious to see what you've come up with.

There are certain problems that can't really be overcome with a 
compile time approach, like generically passing things across DLL 
boundaries, or modifying/referencing things at design-time in an 
editor. You could generate some generic wrapper/interface at 
compile time, but that would basically be the same as run-time 
reflection at that point.
