I second that request, an additional constructor which takes all members
of a message (in the order of declaration in the .msg) as arguments
would be really useful. I often see myself creating a message objects,
filling each member separately, and then publishing that object. Calling
the publisher directly with a temporary object is not only more
convenient to type, but should also be more efficient. Why should only
Python get all all the fun [1]? ;)
Best regards,
