OK, I'll think about it a little more then, and come back to you if I have a
good proposal.

Agreed, the more important things (showstoppers) first.

For all to know, I'll also mention here that I've commited the
SmartWrapper=>Object merge, the dynamic casting stuff since it works (see
example/testwrapper) and finally put the _base* constructors protected, created
the Object::null() and done all necessary changes. Today is the day, today is
