yes, we have. 

OCL is mostly a way of making sure that the spec as published *does*
compile, rather than a complete class library. 

Most of the OLC is generated from a specification and contains little
code (indeed, there are only a handful of classes that contain stuff
other than the automatically generated skeletons).  

At this point we do have something close to 350 working classes which
have real code in them, so we are sort of ahead ;-)
