Well, those are in there for backwards compatibility, so if possible I would 
like to keep them as they are... On the other hand, I don't really want to 
start 
finding workarounds for MS compiler bugs again, those tend to get messy. :(

I see two options:

1. Break backwards compatibility. In that case all the options above are 
possible, but IMHO the best is just removing them.
2. Discontinue MSVC 7.1.

2. feels a little heavy, as I think there are still a lot of people with VS.NET 
2003 out there. Given that the result will be compile errors and that it's 
fairly easy to replace the removed methods by get/setGenericValue I'm not too 
opposed to 2, unless somebody has a better idea.
