Looking for something similar to a map type, but which allows me to
define a new type (possibly via templates?) at compile time, with the
expected NAMES filled in. Values will come in at runtime.

so just to illustrate : supposing i have 2 valid names with expected
values :- name,age

so

foo.name = "myname"; foo.age=99; //ok
foo.address="moderated road"; // error at compile time

Now, i know you might say why dont you go off and define your own
class and use a map for underlying implementation? The reason i dont
want to do that is that i would have tons of classes. So just looking
for a slick way to maintain a constrained name-value dictionary with
the names defined at compile time.
