If I may make a suggestion, I would support things like that. For me the
only thing missing are some refactoring tools. They exist to some degree
(move to source, create accessors), but I'm sure that could be expanded.
For example, creating and working with d-pointers could be made much
simpler. Same for code generation, it should be easy to add a private class
when creating a class, and add properties to the private class with public
accessors.

I'm sure there are more examples where code generation would be useful.
Would anyone be willing to mentor for this?
