I'm not arguing for this, but you could do a fairly straightforward API like:
SBValue SBValue::CallMethod(const char *methodName, SBValueList arguments); This would only work if the SBValue was a C++ or ObjC object. In the ObjC case "methodName" would be the selector, and the value list would have to be in parameter order. I can see this being useful, though probably under the covers it would take some work to get it right...
