And in any case, it's clear that object orientation was a deliberate
design point in Python from its public releases.  That's in stark
contrast to Perl, where the object oriented techniques are clearly an
afterthought and are haphazardly thrown into the kitchen sink, much like
most of the other features in Perl.
