It seem that a class which has absolutely no public or protected
member functions or data-members is totally useless.  Right?

If that is true, then the declaration of any such class should
reasonable elicit a warning from the compiler.

For instance,

class x {
	int x_private_data;
	int x_private_method ();
};

Is silly.
