"... is a style we don't really encourage."
I should have added.
We want random access to stuff saved on the heap, through nothing more
than hash table lookup. We don't want serial guidance through a set
of this-or-that choices, as if we're not competent to just operate the
machinery however we see fit.
"We" is not the whole world, just a school of thought that wants CP4E
to really *mean* something, not just be rhetoric for mental couch
potatoes.
