Hey, I *like* OO programming! I love being able to create whole new
classes of functionality by just inheriting from the correct set of
classes, with out actually writing a line of code that's more than the
class declaration. Not quite as spiffy as real macros, but close.

Of course, that I like OO programming and desired to continue doing so
is why I never wrote Java or C++ for real.
