I think, it would actually be a good thing to have more object<br>
orientation also in the core modules. It could make the system less<br>
static and more adaptable and user friendly.<br>
<br>
For example, if module TextFrames contained type-bound procedures based<br>
on the Frame type instead of a collection of static procedures with a<br>
Frame parameter, one could easily adapt its behavior by overriding just<br>
a few selected procedures.<br>
<br>
And if all documents were based on a common type with overridable<br>
type-bound command procedures, the user would not have to choose between<br>
commands like "Edit.Store" and "Draw.Store", but simply invoke "Store",<br>
which would automatically call the right procedure according to the<br>
actual document type.<br>
