'Shapeless,' allow me to introduce you to implicit macros.

Miles Sabin, the 1000th (or seemingly) Precog engineer to speak at this year NE Scala Symposium, demonstrates his project called 'shapeless.' The project is designed to guide runtime behavior by making use of Scala's implicit resolution mechanisms, but as Miles points out errors can often occur.

In this talk, Miles shows how incorporating implicit macros can make 'shapeless' appear even more attractive.
