According to Steve Lidie <lusol@Dragonfly.cc.lehigh.edu>:
:Tcl [...]
:needs one supported, built-in, OO mechanism, Look at the
:source code for Tcl/Tk, it's the best, most readable, easiest to
:maintain, C code I've ever seen.

Do you agree that for tcl to move towards this goal, the community should
also be aware that not everyone agrees on an OO model, and so the result of
this action should be such that other models are not eliminated?

Is it your believe that such a mechanism has to be inserted pervasively
though all the existing core code? Basically, that Tcl has to be redesigned,
so that said support is "built-in"?
