Yes. There are few reasons for this:
1. readability - I think that generated code is more readable. If you
stay with IDL like
   syntax you will get very very long line.
2. compilation errors - it is much easier to understand what compiler says
3. For MSVC 7.1 compiler, for template classes instantiations you have to
    define function type and than to use it within expression,
otherwise the generated
    code will not compile.
4. Lack of time - I can implement IDL like syntax, but it will
complicate the code.
    I don't have enough time to implement and test it.

If you think that this should be fixed - consider to contribute your
time and efforts :-)
