Could you build this?
No Mirror_bridge requires cutting-edge C++26 static reflection facilities and deep compiler-level expertise with libclang/AST parsing to generate robust Python/C API bindings.
What it would actually take: Requires deep systems programming expertise in modern C++ (C++20/C++23/C++26 reflection TS) and the Python C API/CFFI. The implementation involves parsing ASTs, handling template instantiations, type conversions, memory management, and edge cases across distinct language ABIs.
