You can certainly build factories in C++; it's all a question of
programming.  And C++ _DOES_ have dynamic object stuff.  I know, I've
used it.

One could just as easily implement a "save thyself" in C++.

First I think we need the GUI support to attach a split to a Lot, or
to view an account in lot-mode...

FTR, I do have some fifo's implemented already -- just not
generically.  Feel free to grab the code out of
business/business-core/gncInvoice.c's PostInvoice and ApplyPayment
