	Let me add that I've seen this done -- I'm working on a
project that incorporated a lot of features that look, act, and read
like objects. They just happen to be written in plain C.

	We didn't have a C++ compiler, and we only had 3.5 trained C
programmers, let alone anyone with enough experience in C++ to carry
everyone else.
