The language has a spec of 1,000 pages and a huge number of productions.
Some structures can be reused across multiple productions but many can't.
So there are many structures and many fields. Also if overriding one needs
to check that the name is not a duplicate, used elsewhere, which is more
work.

With objects it might not be so large a job because generic
functions get built that can be shared (same name) across many different
classes.

I haven't used this because I am concerned about speed of execution,
without much evidence I admit.
