Yes. For example a supply of electrical power controlled via a serial protocol
to a programmable power supply - the file is a private detail used for the
communications. And lets imagine that this powersupply object needs to keep
track of some state such as the voltage - and it has a long lifetime - not just
created then destroyed in scope of one function i.e. it is a substantial object.

Please illustrate. I really do want to be able to compare like for like.
