Yes it allows to import/export meshes generated from gmsh and to invoke gmsh on 
a geometrical model to generate the mesh.

thanks to the ability to import FEnics meshes and thanks to the good selection 
of format conversion tools
provided by FEnics, msh can now handle directly or indirectly a good number of 
different mesh generator.

Therefore, I think it only makes sense to do new work on triangular/tetrahedral 
meshes if we want to do so in a Matlab 
compatible way, which requires using classdef.
