And what if you want to implement something like Rust's "derive"? That is what the article shows. As far as I understand you would have to mess with individual parser tokens in Rust instead of high-level structures like "enum" (C++ reflection). It would be much, much uglier to implement anything like "to_enum_string" in Rust as you would have to re-implement parts of the compiler to get the "enum" concept out of a list of tokens.
