Just keep the current state then - maybe in a separate frontend only used for bootstrapping, sharing some code with the final, class-only, frontend. And expand it if needed for ecj. bye, //mirabile -- I believe no one can invent an algorithm. One just happens to hit upon it when God enlightens him.
