    Hi, thanks for all your comments. It's simply clearer to me as to what
    you're doing. Now, in regards to your example, a struct in C and C++
    are very different. For example, a struct C cannot contain functions
    within its declaration. Most programmers in the C++ community would
    use a class to create C++ object types that contain methods because the
    struct keyword is somewhat confusing when moving from C to C++ (i.e. do
    you mean a C struct or a C++ struct). Thus, I think that they should
    not have extended 'struct' in regards to the C++ language. I feel that
    one shouldn'e get bogged down in the details of a languages syntax but
    instead concentrate on the problem that they are trying to solve. Then
    making easier for one easily solve that problem in language A. In
    saying this, I feel that Smalltalk definitely has done an excellent job
    in this regard. This is from my experience of using C++, Ada, Java,
    C#, VB, Eiffel, and Smalltalk.
