It might however be desireable to generate such stub sub-classes for a select set of classes (those that the developers realize may be frequently derived from by interpreter users), with which sub-classes so generated being controlled by a #pragma. This would be quite nice; I know of at least two and possibly more places we would make use of this functionality in our analysis package Phat, if it were available; at the moment we're currently effectively creating stub classes 'by hand' for the classes we thought it was essential that this be available, and dealing with it in other places we would probably prefer not to. What do you think, Masa? George Heintzelam
