Well, anyone implementing compilers or interpreters for one. If the compiler 
gave you runtime type information sufficient for everyone's needs, that 
would probably be enough. But if you want to (say) write something that'll 
take a structure and store it in database tables, or serialize something to 
a file or a SOAP message or some such, not having the type information *and* 
not being able to easily parse the header files can be problematic.
