Sorry, letter have go with not finished phrase.
It should be:

I think Justin have told that HIS classes Vdatabase, Vfield, are inherited
from Object.

You are not forced do that.

Justin? 

Shame on me, I do not know yet what is faults.

CoreData - no. (until Apple open API)

EOF - no. Until we implement this. For now was no requests.

Natural language? You mean talk on list ?

No problems. You can ask more questions.

In short answer to your questions is:
    Valentina is set of classes for different APIs
    (C++, C#, RB, Lingo, Obj-C now)

If some IDE do have special features that allow e.g. Binding, we try
implement that also.
