Yes, Think should add object concepts to C.  Yes, they should borrow 
heavily from the C extensions defined in AT & T's C++.  But they should
be integral--like the old Clascal language from Apple.  There are a lot
of reasons for this: symbolic debugging and a fast edit-compile-run cycle 
have already been mentioned.  We need Lightspeed C++, not a version of
C++ that works with Lightspeed.
