My additions support a subset of C++ virtual methods. How is that esoteric?
Why would an extension writer ever want to do this? "Normal" extension types either wrap some C type, so you don't have inheritance at all, or some C++ type, in which case a single type method can wrap arbitrary virtual methods (since the VMT is done in C++).
I'm still in favor of a 'clean' method to add additional C accessible structure fields to types. Currently I'm attaching them to the the type's dict, as I reported before. As I understand it, Christian's first patch allows this. Thomas
