Are you suggesting what I'm thinking? If so, then I for one am against such
functionality to be part of Allegro.
I actually have such a framework in place and it gets reused in about every
(new) program I write, as well as some things to automate several update
methods (including dirty rectangles as well), but I wouldn't want similar
functionality in Allegro.
