new is overriden in TUObject because the purpose of the library 
is to bypass the garbage collector and  to bypass the GC you have 
to override new and delete.(at least according to the manual: 
articles,mem managment).

And yes, classes are used everywhere. I've read in the D 
guidlines that interdependent classes should be avoid (IIRC the 
reason for this is to make the maintenance easyer)...but it's 
just like that, by design. The classes hold some data and some 
methods usefull for their descendants...don't they ?

About the ULongRec, yes maybe...

But I recognize that I've been a bit "overenthusiastic" in this 
announce, I should have waited a few weeks...Anyway I'll finish 
this lib, everything is here, the class structure is clear.
