The proper way is to do code generation for it. When I use Python or 
some other language, I'd create a code generator that takes something 
like this:

function foo(int bar)

and generates all the code for setting up this stuff. That way, you 
don't have to handle the ref crap yourself.

I'm very much a proponent of code generation for this kind of stuff, and 
writing a small compiler that takes specialized input and throws out C++ 
code is pretty easy.
