Re: procedural vs object oriented

Because:

* the dispatching logic is visible in the source and therefore easy to
trace to object code (you always certify the machine code, not the
source code).

* you see, at the call site, the complete list of possible call
targets.

Besides, peer review would reject your code. You should have used a
case statement with no "others" clause, and thought about all possible
shape types up-front.
