   Either you're arguing about implementation, or I'm totally confused. Were
   you not just defending ObjC against the slings and arrows of C++?

You said something about using preprocessors languages, and I was
simply stating(subtly) that on the NeXT neither implementations are
preprocessors.  You're right it is just an implementation detail, but
the one implementation will drive you crazy.
