Well, on closer inspection the code above is a little too bare to give
enough context, but I can see how the above code snippet could be
incorporated into defining a local object class using the same syntax that
is used for global classes and in that sense it make sense and might be
cleanest (by that I mean, having a consistant coding style) way to
implement local objects of a type that are not needed outside of one
function.  Certainly not anything that you couldn't work around, but not 
something that needs to fail either.
