[Gtk-sharp-list] Point.custom patch

[Charles Iliya Krempeaux]

Hello,

I'd probably call it something other than a "Point".
Maybe instead a "Vector" (or "Vector2") or a "Tuple".

A "Point" has additional "mathematical" meanings beyond
just holding 2 numbers (and being a Ring).


Something like this would be useful though.  Consider
if you want to get the size of a Gtk.Window.  If you
had a "Vector2:, you could do a...

    Gtk.Window window = new Gtk.Window();

    // ...

    Gdk.Vector2 v = window.Size;

    System.Console.WriteLine(
        "The Window Size is: width={0} height={1}"
        , v.x1, v.x2
    );

Where x1 and x2 are like x and y in your code.

Or you could overload the "[]" operator, and get...

    Gtk.Window window = new Gtk.Window();

    // ...

    Gdk.Vector2 v = window.Size;

    System.Console.WriteLine(
        "The Window Size is: width={0} height={1}"
        , v.[1], v.[2]
    );

Or maybe the counting should start a zero.

It would be better though, if the CLI supported this
natively.  The this could be optimized in all sorts
of ways!


See ya
