Yes, we desperatly need this.  Some random ideas.

- can the list of fields be grouped vis:

	.... {
	  {
	    { "private" "int a;" }
	  }
	  {
	    { "public" "virtual int f();" }
	  }
	} ...

so that the formatting / indentation looks more C++ like.

-  could, for fields and methods, they have explicit tag fields vis:

	{
	  { field private "int a;" }
	  { method public "virtual int f();" }
	}

or:

	{
	  field { private "int a;" }
	  method { public "virtual int f();" }
	}

so that there are more textual clues on what is going on (it's a very 
long parameter list)

- I don't undersand why "V" appears twice in:
 >     "class" "VA" { "public virtual V" } \
 >     { "V" } \
I guess I'm really asking if "V" can be extracted from "public virtual V"

Have fun.
