Comment (by iwakeh):

 Ideas for a descriptor generator and maybe the descriptor itself:

 * use reflection to set descriptor values
 * use a key-value approach for setting the descriptor values
 * a combination of the two above; like reading key-value strings and
 setting the appropriate fields by reflection.

 needs more thinking ...
