2008-12-26 [apw] started to try, if it is possible to implement [Iwidgets] style type widget with only using [itcl-ng] using the ::itcl::extendedclass class types. I soon found out, that almost all for doing so was there, there were only a view functions to add, to make that work. 2008-12-27 '''::itcl::widgets::Entryfield''' and '''::itcl::widget::Labeledwidget''' were running and passing all the tests of the Iwidgets test suite for ::iwidgets::Entryfield and ::iwidgets::Labeledwidget.

Why I am doing that is:
    * improving quality of [itcl-ng] (more code that tests it's features)
    * I personally don't like the ::itk::Archetype class with all megawidgets depending on it
    * as [itclwidgets] is implemented right now, it is possible to replace eventually [Tk] support by [ntkWidget] support
    * if needed it should be possible to also use [ttk] widgets
    * I need some of the mega widgets in my [Reporting Tools with Tcl] project with some added functionality, which was hard to add in the past because of some private methods in iwidgets::Combobox
    * It's a challenge to see what is possible with itcl-ng
