Yes, this is exactly what I was thinking about when I designed it. I envisioned the next generation as being more powerful than the current generation in a Turing sense so that it can emulate it to provide backward compatibility. I had imagined a UI where the user selects properties in a class editor and template code is generated below which they can edit. As far as the UI goes, the sky really is the limit here.
