Most applications (as opposed to "system") developers should be doing
it rarely.  VERY often when they seem inclined to do so, it's just a
symptom of a confused design.

In no way do I mean to restrict knowledgeable metaclass authors, LISPers,
debugger inventors, or other legitimate exceptions to my claim.
