It has not escaped me that far more effort has probably been spent on avoiding
these kinds of issues in win32lib, via conventional methods, than all other Eu
code in existence put together! With hindsight it was a very poor choice of
challenge! On a hunch I looked in Arwen and was surprised I could only find one
apparently unnecessary global, NUMCLASSES in classes.ew, and even that seems like
a typo as only classes.ew uses it.

Perhaps indeed this problem is being blown out of all proportion.

Or perhaps this is the very reason that win32lib is not broken up into more
manageable pieces, say printing, fonts, listviews, treeviews, mouse, properties,
datetime, scrollbars, bitmaps, etc.
