We want the command handler implementations to be as pretty as possible - so let people write

	BEGIN_COMMAND(CommandName)
	{
		int member;
		cCommandName() { ... }  // } both are optional; neither may
		~cCommandName() { ... } // }   make use of this->msg

		void Do() { ... interact with this->msg ... }
		void Undo() { ... }
		void Redo() { ... }

		void MergeIntoPrevious(cCommandName* prev) { ... } // iff this command is a mergeable one
	};
	END_COMMAND(CommandName)

which looks almost exactly like a class definition, and is about the simplest
system I can find.


The following macros convert that into:

	class cCommandName_base : public Command
	{
	protected:
		// Storage for data passed into this command
		dCommandName* msg;
	public:
		// Ensure msg is initialised to something 'safe'
		cCommandName_base : msg(NULL) {}

		// MergeIntoPrevious should be overridden by mergeable commands, and implemented
		// to update 'prev' to include the effects of 'this'. (A subclass overriding
		// any function named 'MergeIntoPrevious' will hide this function, even if
		// the types differ.)
		void MergeIntoPrevious(void*) { ...error - needs to be overridden... }
	};

	// Use 'struct' for automatic publicness - we want users to write as little as possible
	struct cCommandName : public cCommandName_base
	{
		// (user's command code - mostly overriding virtual methods from Command)
	}
	
	// Subclass the command to add things which require knowledge of the
	// complete class definition
	class cCommandName_sub : public cCommandName
	{
	public:
		cCommandName_sub(dCommandName *data) { ...set msg... }
		~cCommandName_sub() { ...clear msg... }

		// Implement the relevant virtual methods from the Command base class,
		// with automatic casting to the correct types and stuff
		virtual void Merge(Command* prev) { ...call MergeIntoPrevious... }
		virtual const char* GetType() const { return "CommandName"; }

		// Factory method for creating an instance of this class, casting the
		// data pointer into the right form (to avoid forcing the generic
		// command-handling support code to worry about the types)
		static Command* Create(const void* data) { ...return new cCommandName_sub... }
	};

	// Register.cpp wants to get that Create method, but it doesn't want to
	// load all the class definitions; so define a simple method that just
	// returns the address of Create
	cmdHandler cCommandName_create()
	{
		return &cCommandName_sub::Create;
	}

// (TODO: make sure this stays in sync with the code below)
