Marco, thank you very much for going through the trouble to write a
solution. If you permit, I'll put your article on my page as the first
member of reader-conctributed solutions.

You are right, concerning the GUI framework.

I didn't know ucw, but it seems to be a web development package. Then
it does not really access the type if (interactive) applications I
need for my projects, but covers mainly the HTTP/HTML part, right? But
this is Ok, as you said, if we settle on certain types of apps.

If I understand your code correctly, you implemented the management of
object-relations on-the-fly.

So now it would be interesting to separate the parts which implement a
general API (the "abstractions") from those which a special for the
demo application (the "elaborations") to see the resulting
succinctness.

Explanation: In my usual work I have to write such applications
permanently, and then there are much more complicated relations than
in the given spec, between tens or hundreds of classes, so we cannot
code these things explicitly each time.
