And it does, see my previous email.

Yes there is, called C++/Parser. Again, see my previous email (I
am starting to get the impression you actually haven't read it).

Indeed there is! It involves customizing your object model to
include data members to store the extra data. And then customizing
the (C++/Parser) parser implementations to copy this data into
the object model.

It is very clean. Just not very easy.

What would make it easy is support for code generation plugins.
I've had this idea for XSD (e.g., to generate "visitors") but
it will work very well here as well.
