A framework does not have to induce too much code bloat. I have a
frameworks I developed where the UI objects are just subclasses of the
PalmOS controls so you can just cast a FieldType* to a PField* and use the
methods. It pretty much compiles down to the same object code and the
linker strips out any methods that aren't being used. With my 170K app I
pay about a 20K penalty. Well worth the increased maintainability.
