The object I had in mind when I started my ``extending c" thread was
to provide certain object-oriented features in the c language. this is
needed mainly to support a slightly more complex string (ie char*)
type and can have other applications as well. this is rather simple
IMHO, after the c is parsed, at least ;)


Uh, look at c3 on my site (email with any questions, as webpage
updates are rather scarce in the wrld of etoffi).
