Then so it be. This is designed this way in Java.
If you want to go by automobile, you need to drag a motor,
tires, and tank with you, and possibly three empty seats.
If you start to rebuilt the car so that you can go without
them, the result usually will be worse, and you will not
reached your destination in time.
PS: It's nice to get a reference to Lisp. My first and favorite
language remains Scheme.
Alan Kay coined the term ?object-oriented? in 1967.
In 2003, he wrote about it:
?OOP to me means only messaging, local retention and
protection and hiding of state-process, and extreme
late-binding of all things. It can be done in Smalltalk
and in LISP. There are possibly other systems in which
this is possible, but I'm not aware of them.?
