I'm working in the "new class builder" [1]. It automatically propagates this format change to the subclasses, instead of raising the error like the current class builder does. ie, the class B becomes variable when A becomes variable.

Do you agree?


What happens if a subclass was already variable but not simple variable, like byte or words? �they will be changed?

---> why do we raise the error "B cannot be recompiled"?

what's the problem with reformatting subclasses�automatically?
