Mostly I'm writing just to applaud--this post had a lot
of value to it.  The largest quibble I could find in its
scores of lines was the failure to mention that *OOSC*
is valuable reading for OO programmers working in *any*
language, not just Eiffel.  *OOSC* is like *SICP* in 
that regards; it towers not just over the competition, 
but also any apparent limit imposed by its language of
expression.
