If that were really the way you'd design such a thing if deprived of type 
extension then I would to think you were incompetent to design S/W. I wouldn't 
do it that way.

The problem with trying to build such a layer on top of an existing framework is 
that they all use the C-inspired idea of giving up your thread of control to the 
framework and it making calls to code you provide. That's not how it should be 
done in a decent language.
