- I'd take that with a grain of salt. The real objects may be a useful
- starting point, but what I see in well-designed libraries are lots of
- highly abstract objects even from the standpoint of a abstraction lover
- that I am.
- Really a class is an implementation of a concept. If a concept can be
- divided into other concepts, a good OO language allows you to map the
- subconcepts to even other classes. You end up with dozens or hundreds of
- tiny classes, each implementing a single, atomic concept.
