oops. missed that menu. thanks.

i'm once again working on a uml object model. it turns out that 
overgeneralizing using templates isn't a great idea because you can't build 
specific behavior for stuff. alas. i've decided, instead, to (ab)use the 
preprocessor for defining attributes and relationships. there's some macros 
for generic declaration and (will be some) that allow overrides to be 
declared for all the interface methods. fun stuff.

and - just for fun, all the uml objects are derived from QObject which means 
we get signal/slot capabilities (plus exceptions for better error conditions) 
and i'm sitting down to work out a meta-object protocol that provides access 
to lists of attributes and relationships. should be quite nice. its too bad 
there's 106 different classes to write :)
