Well, we always had to do boilerplate code when creating evas smart classes anyway. And this isn't the first time that a tool is created to write the boilerplate code for us (see geneet, written in python). >>> On Thu, Apr 11, 2013 at 6:06 AM, Cedric BAIL <cedric.b...@free.fr> wrote: >>> >>>> Hello everyone, >>>> >>>> One of the annoying things with Eo is that we now need to update a few >>>> more place than before when we add a new function.
