This is exactly what I was thinking. Great.

OK, I will do that. That would be a nice and easy starter. :)
In fact, this is very interesting indeed. If we can easily add in new
classes functions like that, then the treecc will be very very usefull
in building class frameworks.

Absolutly. 

On a differnt note  : 
Today, ajmitch checked in the debian package code for treecc and I was
able to build via dpkg. We are almost done with our port of GTK+ and
when that Is over, I will try and get pnet compiled via the cross
compiler. That would be nice, because it produces native binaries,and
you dont need cygwin to run them.
