    // this code for it, this does mean that setting colours/fonts/... for
    // composite controls won't work in the library compiled with it but so far

    //     it non-virtually and we need to do this to avoid infinite recursion,
    //     so we work around this by calling the method of this object itself
    //     manually in each function.
