Hi Vincent

It seems to be like the difference between C and C++ when that occurred.  Plenty
of people use C++ objects intermixed in a procedural program (like cout).

And since I wasn't going to comment on this thread... someone else mentioned the
namespace thing, well Perl has very similar idea to this.  The difference being
that you can create an object in an 'include' and 'bless' it to be part of that
class.  So if you deal with an object in the include you can tell if it one of
your objects (or some derivation of it).

I also agree that it is way too early to be talking about it, hence why I'm not
commenting.
