Do you have any specs/design/examples? In particular side-by-side
demos which extol the virtues, eg:
OO:

return call_method(o,"length",{})

procedural:

if o[tag]=CAR then return o[CAR_LENGTH]
	elsif o[tag]=BOAT then return o[BOAT_LENGTH]
	...

Though obviously a bit more involved. Possibly start with the very
first program you hope to get running and the coolest example you can
think of that will only start working sometime nearer the release date
perhaps with some example mods or bugfixes which are trivial in OO but
fiddly and all over the place in the equivalent procedural code?

Not that I'm a particular fan of OO programming or anything...
