Doug Lea (response #5) speaks from experience:  C++ is object-oriented,
not value-oriented.  I'm sure there are lots of clever ways to make the
expression syntax work, but at what price?  I prefer the object-oriented
syntax, if only to avoid that queasy feeling I get when I sin against my
programming language :-).
