Ok I see what is happening now. But imagining that I will have to place this
code (which can fairly be automated) to every class (the library I am
planning to use is huge) I use does not appeal to me. Can we extend rootcint
so that when a certain flag is set it will output a xxx_imp.cc & a xxx_def.h
that will be fed to my compiler. It could also do some syntactic checks just
to make sure.
