Sigh. To an old Smalltalk programmer like me, I have to wonder why C++ is called "Object Oriented". I try to understand the language, but it seems to be quite unintuitive.

I'm struggling to understand the emu code - I keep expecting fundamental data types to "do the right thing, with no surprises". How do people write robust correct code in C++ without going mad?

Thanks for your time, I'll just keep away from the code, as I seem to break things due to my Smalltalkness. Perhaps I'm just too old..... everything got hard after about 1986. And don't get me started on Java....
