Equality would be useful to automatically have. I haven't looked too deeply into the automatic type generation from message names, but probably using something like AutoHashEquals.jl would be easy enough.
I'd also really appreciate having keyword constructors by default. Using Base.@kwdef in the constructor code should allow for that easily. No argument constructors like Header() are already allowed by default, but not Header(frame_id = "this")

Both sound like good ideas. I'm not actively developing for this repo right now but I'd be happy to support efforts with conversation/reviews.
