PPS. Perhaps Radek has a comment regarding the semantic context of
multiple
candidate selection?

He's thinking about it. In his spare time, which unfortunately went missing
some years ago and he has been unable to find it. And yes Jon, I have twins
as well. And I am not as eloquent as Shawnk.

In the meantime, I'll just try to illustrate my immediate concerns (hoping
Anders is listening???)

First, the problem generally lies in the analysis/design space - not
implementation. That's not to say that an MI inspired design does not
require an MI language, but that the problem arises because the real world
patterns I see and model are sometimes orthogonal and when it comes time to
implement, I am stuck with some workaround or other due to lack of MI. The
other problem is "artificial"; when creating custom Winforms controls, I am
stuck inheriting from the Control, and I cannot also inherit from a standard
architecture.

To illustrate, I have a vast framework of business widgets, components and
objects that comprise business systems, and are all abstract - they deploy
purely as WebServices. So I have an AJAX client and a Winforms client to
consume these services. I also have (from the Gupta days) a base abstract
client-side class that "speaks" to my WebServices, with a few
abstract/virtual methods to override in concrete classes such as TextBox,
CheckBox, etc; its NOT an interface, its a class with a fair amount of code
in it. Having had to turn this elegant design into some repeated code in 20
different visual classes was painful. MI would solve it.

But still the main issue is analysis - pattern recognition - modelling and
Business Object design. Its been 6 years since I've had the luxury of MI,
and I miss it almost daily. I feel strongly that its a case of not knowing
what you're missing (like eyes or ears for someone blind/deaf since birth).

Cheers,

Radek
