Wrong. At the C level, it's all still objects, with inheritance,
polymorphism, and encapsulation. Piles and piles of boilerplate to
make things work, and you have to compile your .IDL file into C and
then fill in your code, and make sure you don't disrupt things, but it
works beautifully. It's object oriented machine code.
