A bit different kind of introspection. In Protobuf I can write a code generator that loads the compiled PB descriptions and then generates whatever it needs.
For example, I'm using it to generate SQL-serializing wrappers for my Protobuf types for Go.
Oh yeah, also having a standardized pretty-printer would be great.
