If I had to say just Yes or No on that, I guess I'd have to say No. 
I think it might be better to use exceptions (and constructors and 
destructors) than to use inheritance and virtual methods.  As I said 
in another message, you can't really use STL without using exceptions 
to some degree.

I'd like to hear more about how you envision using inheritance and 
virtual methods.  It's not clear to me how we could use inheritance 
for the Quesa object hierarchy without losing the ability to extend 
it with plugins, but maybe that's not what you had in mind.
