- One of the well-known problems of the "classical object-oriented
- paradigm" is its inability to deal with operations that require
- simultaneous access to the internal state of more than one object at a
- time. Implementing a UNION operation on sets without publically
- exposing the underlying data structure used the represent them is a
- typical example.
-
- I would be grateful for pointers to papers (or languages) where this
- issue is addressed.
