There's one thing that I was hoping to find answered when I would have reviewed the whole series, but it hasn't happened: There is no doubt that dynamic properties (in the sense of being able to modify them after constructions) are a useful thing. But you also claim that class-based properties are not enough for QOM and that we need object-based ones, which is a requirement not immediately obvious to me. Can you provide some examples where we would explicitly need object-based properties? Kevin
