That would be good timing. I have hand created enough descriptions to be able
to materialize the descriptor.proto (the model definition in itself) and class
generation is next.
I have experimented (by using the right super class) with automatic selector
creation and I think it will work if tweaked to handle collections/repeated
fields correctly.
A class/type definition currently reads as:
PBTypeMessage subclass: #GBPFieldDescriptorProto
slots: { #name => (PBTypeString asSlot fieldName: 'name'; fieldNumber:
1; beOptional).
#extendee => (PBTypeString asSlot fieldName:
'extendee'; fieldNumber: 2; beOptional).
#number => (PBTypeInt32 asSlot fieldName:
'number'; fieldNumber: 3; beOptional).
#label => (GBPFieldDescriptorProto_Label asSlot
fieldName: 'label'; fieldNumber: 4; beOptional).
#type => (GBPFieldDescriptorProto_Type asSlot
fieldName: 'type'; fieldNumber: 5; beOptional).
#type_name => (PBTypeString asSlot fieldName:
'type_name'; fieldNumber: 6; beOptional).
#default_value => (PBTypeString asSlot
fieldName: 'default_value'; fieldNumber: 7; beOptional).
#options => (GBPFieldOptions asSlot fieldName:
'options'; fieldNumber: 8; beOptional).
#json_name => (PBTypeString asSlot fieldName:
'json_name'; fieldNumber: 10; beOptional) }
classVariables: { }
package: 'Protobuf-Compiler-Definitions'

That would be helpful!
