True.

It would require quite a bit of hacking, but it would be nice if the ODE
internals used C++ operator overloading on their vecs/matrices/quats -
something that D3DX provides, but would have to be duplicated for non-win
platforms (actually you could just reuse their headers for much of it).  I
ended up writing a little dVector3 wrapper class for my heightfield stuff
just to keep me sane (I don't enjoy typing three times as many lines for
per-component manipulations - also makes the code clearer imo).
