Description
I find myself forward declaring the same classes from Wt a lot (dozens of files):
namespace Wt {
namespace Http {
class Request;
class Response;
} // namespace Http
} // namespace Wt
It would be nice if Wt provided a header for forward declarations, like some other libraries sometimes do; "rapidjson/fwd.h", or "iosfwd".

We actually put forward declarations in WGlobal.h. It also includes a little bit of other stuff (mostly some enums).

You're right. It took me years of working with Wt to find that header. Something with "fwd" in the name would have helped.

This can be closed. The WGlobal.h file works well.
