I hope that most people aren't using home-grown OO systems for most of
their problems - especially given that maps are almost enough for a
prototype-based system to start with. That would be working "against
the grain", as it were. While it would be nice to have a standard OO
system for the cases where that's appropriate, those should be
relatively rare.
