I assume you are speaking of WrapITK (and only WrapITK) in the rest of  
this mail.

Yes, mostly. It is still there to keep something close of the old  
coding style available. I'm not sure that's much useful though, as I  
believe that the new "itk" module provide a better notation.

The wrapped code is the same, but the notation are different. You  
can't replace "import itk" by "import InsightToolkit as itk".
InsightToolkit contains the raw classes produced by cableswig, without  
any customization to make the usage of the template parameters easier.

Yes. If you find something available in InsightToolkit but not  
available in itk, please let me know - it's likely to be a bug.
