Ok, I have implemented this and now we can define composite value types
as C++ class template instantiations:

typedef std::pair<int, std::string> int_str_pair;
#pragma db value(int_str_pair)

#pragma db object
class object
{
  ...

  int_str_pair pair_;
};

I can build you a 1.7.0 ODB compiler binary with this support if you
would like to give it a try. Just let me know which platform(s) you
need.
