Yikes! Yuck. Enough to stay away from it at every opportunity. Unfortunately

I sure hope you're not suggesting something like ActiveX.
I once had the really questionable pleasure of generating header files for
Word8 automation (i.e. ActiveX), and the resulting header file made me drop
my jaw. Out of thousands of methods, I found one that could make a grown man
cry. What do you think of a method taking 31 (thirty-one) parameters, non
with default values?!

The "post-1.0" stack is growing. :-)
Could you add this idea to the todo-xp file?
