I just looked briefly, and I am intrigued by the possibility that this
functionality could be integrated with the (unofficial) Boost Interfaces
library.

On my todo list is runtime reflection for interfaces, which I've been thinking
might eventually form part of an RPC mechanism, together with

You're interface definitions look a lot like Boost IDL definitions:

What kind of code needs to be generated by the macros to support your framework?
