just of the top of my head, i can think of: AVOptions allows listing the available options, like for automatically building a list of available options in a GUI it allows changing the type int->int64, int->double it stores default value, min and max allows access to substructures, one can in some cases move a field to s substructure one could dump and load settings of a struct in a generic way not needing to update the code after fields get added [...] -- Michael GnuPG fingerprint: 9FF2128B147EF6730BADF133611EC787040B0FAB The misfortune of the wise is better than the prosperity of the fool. -- Epicurus
