I see that you have referenced my Orange library, cool. Looking at the 
example for emitting events. I'm not completely sure how it works but it 
looks like that Fields mixin can be replace with the code you have 
referenced from my Orange library and opDispatch. Then you could write 
the Point and Size structs just as regular structs without the mixin.
