[lazarus] My opinions

[Baeseman, Cliff]

I am not really opposed to it either but we will have to make sure we do not
break the interface across tool kit.

Florian brings up a good point. We COULD call the functions directly in SOME
cases, like drawpixel as long as we made sure that each ???object.pp file
has those functions in them.  This certainly would speed things up.   

I like the send message function because then we only need to have one real
public function in the object interface (gtkinterface class) but if we were
able to call the functions directgly, we would aviod the large CASE
statement but then we would have to make sure that we add a function called
DRAWPIXEL in the win32 interface, the QT interface, etc.  I think in this
case that would work though....

Thoughts?

But the message dispatching takes a lot of time (compared with a direct
virtual call), remember my drawpixel example!
