Even... Haskell! Dundundun! (I'm referring to Template Haskell.) As it turns out (IME) referencing arbitrary data (such as a database schema queried from a 'live' database) is actually of quite limited value. Where I actually agree that it makes sense is the 'read-a-checked-in-file-and-generate-code-at-compile-time-from-that'. Otherwise, you're mostly just looking at a lot of pain compared to just generating code (that you might check in).
