I wonder what exactly you could do with abstract classes, that

I mimic abstract classes like this:
Protected constructor
Method MyCoolVirtualMethod
//just calls an event
evMyCoolEvent
//define the event
Event evMyCoolEvent
Then I go ahead and implement stuff in the subclasses eventhandlers.
This comes so close to an abstract class that I don't need a "real"
language
RB construct to implement them.
Just that sometimes you need that inheritance to work "bottom up" not
top down like events do.
Anyone forgetting to pass the event along means that a class higher
up the inheritance may handle things before the lower down ones and
that may in fact be wrong for the purposes intended.
