Yep, I arrived to similar conclusions also - currently the mechanism is
somewhat raw, it would be *very* nice to expose the parsed declarations
in the scope of the pyste script, to allow people to mutate them. 

Talking about todo lists, another useful thing would be to be able to
add a command line option to take XML file already pre-generated -
that'll simplify pyste script development some, because with G++ 3.x
series it takes considerable amounts of time to generate XML from C++
and hence making iterative changes is complex.
