Scripting again.

I agree there are some handy tools, but they exist because of the  
shortcomings of said languages, not because it is the way it should be.

// define here
class A {
...
}

// and export somewhere
export(A);
export(A.method);
...
export(that);
export(whatever);
...

You see how stupid is this? How ugly it can get? For actually zero gain?

Absolutely!
