Hi,

When developing an application it is *mostly* combined with the GUI, a
lot of toolkits do this. You would extend a UI tagged-type (or class,
or whatever your language uses) and include the code inside the new
tagged-type, an example would be a toolkit which provides event handler
callbacks via primitive types (a la CLAW) thus forcing you to include
your application code into the new derived type.

Is this the best thing to do? Should I give the users the option?

Thanks,
Luke.
