While we are speaking of new features for the class header: I regularly want
to declare multiple variables in a Private or Public statement like I can
with Dim. And sometimes it would save some typing to have a syntax like

  Property Read Text As String To $sText

to declare a property which should have the same effect as

  Property Text As String
  Private $sText As String

  Private Function Text_Read() As String
    Return $sText
  End

But none of these are urgent. Just wanted to record them :-)

Tobi
