I didn't know `can' returns the CODE ref. Thanks!

Thanks for the explanation. Hopefully I get more familiar
with it and can help making some wrapper.

I was thinking just in terms of making the library better
in general; I would feel selfish to request these things for
myself. If you don't care either way, then: Wx::MenuBar,
Wx::SingleChoiceDialog, Wx::TextEntryDialog; but these are
only ones that I stumbled across so far as I learn the library.
    I'm still learning wxPerl and might not be using the
correct approach. Even now I might change my mind to a different
approach; for example, I just found XRC which looks very nice,
and maybe then I am less likely to subclass these objects.
In my mind, _all_ classes that can be subclassed should ideally
be hashes, but I only mean it to be an idea to consider.
