Meh, that sounds bad. (1) doesn't achieve much without (2). And 
if you want your code to become a big ball of metaprogramming, 
you don't need alias this at all, you can replace it with DbI. 
You can replace most of the language with metaprogramming, and 
implement any type system there, it's basically lisp.
