Is this library reinventing XRC? #10

A comment:

Are you not familiar with the XRC concept in wxWidgets, which allows you to define your dialog layout in XML and have the GUI automatically constructed?

Some reference links about XRC:

After a quick look I feel there are subtle differences. One solution would be to document these differences and point out why this library still has value.

One of those is that the XML in this library is more readable (in my opinion). It seems common to use a GUI tool to design dialogs with XRC, but we actually want to write the XML by hand.

Can XRC use user defined gui components?
