Yes, I know... but I think it's just not feasible to implement such 
blocks for types in Pascal (I think of it as "overkill" ^^)... So I took 
the easy way.
Also keep in mind please, that the cppclass construct is mostly 
(solely?) for interfacing with existing C++ code/libraries (like QT or 
the Irrlicht engine) directly and not for "just for fun I'll write a C++ 
class in Pascal today".

PS: I've switched from Digest Mode to normal message delivery in 
fpc-devel now... so my answers to the list's mails should be more 
reliable :) This excludes this mail from Marco though, as it was sent 
before I changed the setting...
