Yes, but it is more of a binary-compatibility feature. When Dia is a
bit more stable people might create their own separately distributed
objects. These will then be backwards (binary) compatible if object
methods are just added (not changed) and a NULL for method is accepted
as default.

I'm aware of the box and circle creation ugliness. It was added more
like a hack.

Nice. Did you create a widget with a pull-down menu with images of all
arrow-types in lib/arrow.h?
