I don't see the link, at least from the layout side of things. The Form/Class
Designer will involve heavy use of sizers, which simply aren't used in
reporting, which has much more fixed size requirements. But since Paul hasn't
done anything on the visual designer side of reporting, perhaps he'll be able
to adapt the class designer to also lay out reports.
