One of my favorite programming sayings is "I've learned there are worse things than boilerplate."

Over the years I've found that most things promising to "reduce boilerplate" do so in ways that make maintenance and debugging harder. I think back with regret on the times I decided to accept that tradeoff, and I think this falls under that category. I wouldn't recommend it. :)
