all well and good, but there are compilers that don't like this one bit. if 
there is no difference between a class and a struct, then keep it straight: 
if you declare it a class, implement it as a class...

i spend effort making sure KDE still compiles on oddball compilers like the 
one shipped with RH6 (yes, that's a 6) so that we aren't shutting people out 
even if we can excuse it by saying, "the compiler you're using sucks". one of 
the things that particular (and officially unsupported) compiler doesn't do 
is compile a struct that was declared as a class.

if it were a matter of choosing between writing broken C++ and proper C++, i'd 
pick proper C++ over supporting old and broken compilers any day. but if we 
can support old and broken compilers simply by writing nice _and_ proper C++, 
i'm all for that.
