It's not as complete a solution as true object-orientation would be, since
there's no easy way to override "methods".
The only way I've found so far is to put the methods (routines that need to
be different for different instances) into their own small includes. This has
the unpleasant effect of increasing the number of files to juggle, and Eu's
namespacing isn't quite up to the task of putting TWO includes into the same
namespace, so the naming can get awkward.
