define-simple-class feature request: calling inherited methods

[Vladimir Tsichevski]

Hi,

in classes defined with define-simple-class etc. it would be useful to 
add to the class scope public and protected methods of classes and 
interfaces the newly creates class inherits from.

For example, in class inherited from java.awt.Component, in which 
enableMask() is protected, it would be possible to write just:

      (enableEvents mask)

instead of:

      ((primitive-virtual-method
        <java.awt.Component>
        'enableEvents <void>
        (<long>))
       (this) mask))))


As this example shows, not only will this make code cleaner, but also 
allow access to protected members, which is otherwise requires clumsy 
and dangerous constructs using primitive-virtual-method.

Regards,
Vladimir
