It is fairly easy to construct an interface that permits the above to
be written:

   wpt = gb_new_wpt ();
   wpt.url = "http://" + wpt.url;

and have the wpt object to be automatically freed when it goes out of
scope or reassigned.  To do the above, you would use the sput and sget
class methods.  Is this something more akin to what you are looking
for?
