Yeah, cool. But for his purposes, try making a static class of that so it's handy and it won't fly because "this" changes scope. So not so good when writing other classes. A workaround?
I suppose you could use #include to bring that in, or just add that code at the beginning of each file you work on. Neat idea though. I'm all for things that help me be both lazy and efficient.
