Well... I wish several commercial CAD software producers thought otherwise.

Is someone still using SPIN/modula?? ;-).

If it were easy to replace C++ with C + kobj() than I'd say... leave things as
they are. But if it's not difficult to make some C++ modules work than we
should be bright enough to evaluate the changes.

I don't have any real opinion of the patches though, so I'll leave the matter
here.

cheers,

    Pedro.
