OOP is for ``high level'' programming. In my (not that vast)
experience you don't write an OOP application by sitting in front of
the terminal. You think, specify, and _plan_ the application. Then
you type it in.

BTW, I ``discovered'' a gorgeous book on OOP called Design Patterns.
I don't have the author names, but you can find it easily enough on
amazon.com. It was an eye-opener for me on making re-usable object
patterns.

If I had a top ten wish, it would be to make IDL a more OO language,
implementing all of the basic OO features and some of the more
advanced OO features, including operator overloading. Note that this
is a dangereous wish, as highly obtuse and non-transparent code can be
result from a mis-use of those tools.

But other wishes of your list are appealing too.

Cheers,

Mirko
