You mean chapter "16.3 Interfaces in Gaudi" in: http://lhcb-comp.web.cern.ch/lhcb-comp/Frameworks/Gaudi/Gaudi_v9/GUG/Out put/GUG.htm
?

If so, then no, what I'm proposing is completely different: Reflex provides introspection reflection on the code's API and interaction reflection on this introspection. What I propose is to add user-defined attributes to the introspection reflection that's already present. It's what's termed as "annotation" in:
