Hi Jean,

Good.

I will be very happy to hear your comments on design and API of
Valentina C++ SDK 2.x

In 2.x C++ engine we have made revolutionary changes as you can see.
Although public API very similar to what you did have in 1.x

My main concern now about C++ developers is:

    VSDK 2.x do not give you CLASS WAY.

So If you are used to this style of coding, I'd like to discuss what we can
do here.

I see one way easy enough to get this style back into game using simple
wrapper class of smart-ptr kind which use trick of operator ->

Only protential problem for this implementation that we will use -> for
non-pointer objects

class tnlPerson    
{
    VString     mName;
}
....

    mName->SetString()     // C++ developer expect normally here
                           // mName.SetString()
