Tell me about it. I still remember long days of creating object models years
ago, before acquiring a Kaidan head that automated most of it.

I don't know if they pass Chris' test of 3D, but each instance can indeed be
considered a dataset of sorts, albeit in a 2D bitmap. After all, with some
constraints, a vector 3D model and a QT object model of the same could be
made to behave indistinguishably the same.

Best,

Ziya
