Just a small question.
This change is one of a number of changes that seem to be aimed at
only one language version of the Thrift-generated classes.
Have I gotten the wrong impression, or is the feature set starting to
diverge on a per-implementation-language basis? For instance, someone
wanted to derive Thrift classes from base classes in either Java or
C#, someone else says that deep copies are needed, but they only seem
to be concerned with Java. Now this change wants to be able to extend
Thrift classes in Java, maybe because that capability has already been
added for C#.
Am I wrong about this?

Fredrik Hedberg updated THRIFT-219:
-----------------------------------
Description:
Since Java lack the equivalent of C#'s fancy 'partial' class
modifier, extending the logic of a Thrift-generated class means you
have to do it quite literally. This patch allows the developer to
write code templates that are injected into the generated classes by
the compiler, allowing him to extend the generated classes in any
way he wants.
The code templates are presumed to be found in something like /tmpl-
java/com/example/Document.tmpl, and are injected into structs and
services (.Iface and .Client).
