Yes i have seen so already.
And oh no, i personally hate it from the bottom of my heart.
It has led to obscenities like automatic injection of class
instantiations from within headers into each using compilation
unit etc.  I favour blood, sweat and tears instead.  Just like old
Rolls Royce where a craftsman had to hammer for three days until
a single fender was formed.
