Oh, hierarchy is good in itself -- it is not what I am ranting about.
(Although I'd say that main.pp, at 15000 lines, is in dire need of
further splitting).

However, to add another event to SynEdit, I had to add two useless events
and two useless event handlers, totally containing more code then the
original event
-- simply to marshal the call through the hierarchy (see patch in the
issue for details).
This is IMHO not optimal design ;-)
