A couple of Questions

[Timothy Baldwin]

In swi.Wimp there is:

   Message_Prequit       = .Bits: 8,
   Message_PreQuit       = .Bits: 8,  // V6.21 TV

As DefMod stands, on RISC OS 3+, it will ignore the first line,
due to a case insensitive [1] comparison in Lookup().
What is actually intended?

Also in swi.Wimp:

// Generic Wimp Message Header
TYPE Wimp_MessageHeader =
   .Struct
   (
      .Int:   size     "Message size",
      Wimp_T: sender   "Sender of message - set by the Wimp",
      .Int:   my_ref   "My reference - set by the Wimp",
      .Int:   your_ref "Your reference - 0 if not a reply",
      .Bits:  action,
      .Byte:  data ...
   );

Why does Wimp_MessageHeader have a variable size data member?

This is both illogical, and causes difficulties with C++ inheritance.
I intend to improve C++ support.

[1] If you make it case sensitive you will need this patch:
