"Structures" are NOT "objects" and there therefore is a good reason for
not
retaining the procedural nomenclature; neither are "procedures" "methods",
just because on the surface they appear to be similar.

I am sure you have that reversed. I agree that structures
are not objects, because objects have a "vtable" or vector
table to redirect procedure calls ... oops ... method
invocations to the correct code. If 'class object' inherits
from 'class structure', then an object is a structure! <g>
