   "Other languages have been developed by adding object-oriented constructs
   to existing procedural or functional languages.  For example, the languages
   EIFFEL, C++, and Objective-C are extensions of the C language. FLAVORS is
   an object-oriented extention to LISP..."

   From the article "Object-Oriented Programming" by Dyke and Kunz in
   IBM SYSTEMS JOURNAL, Vol 28, NO. 3, 1989.
