HUH?  Not the last I read it, it wasn't.  Dr. Cox is the designer of 
ObjectiveC not C++, and thus the book is rife with ObjC code.  (ObjC is 
the "native" language of the NeXT box, and unfortunately implies that 
everything that you write in it MUST include substantial overhead for 
their message-passing function.  I have heard that it >40k of additional
code, and it decreases execution speed by at least 10%.  Confirm?)
