A variant of Mini-OOF with current object; this is really small stuff.  
Unlike the previous Mini-OOF, it feels complete enough so that I can do 
actual work with it.

Because that would be considerably more complex, and for the things I want 
to do less useful.

I'm totally with them: The way most people use OOP is to add layers and 
layers of abstraction just to delegate work to somebody else.  That's not 
what I want to do.  OOP has some specific places where it is useful, it is 
no silver bullet and not the be all and end all.

For GUIs however, it has been shown its usefulness.  And that's where I'm 
using it.
