TODO

The main things to do in the points below:

test library under different compilers;

add methods into vtl_rtti class to return a collection of invokers - method and field invokers;

modify passing the second argument in vtl_get_set_invoker::set_value(vtl_obj& x, vtl_obj v) method to pass it by reference;

Please do not hesitate to contact me, if you would like to help, to raise an error or to ask a question.
