- I agree with the class family idea of Ralph Johnson. In fact, the intersectLine
- operation cannot be "owned" by a Circle and neither can it be owned by a Line.
- It can be jointly owned (i.e., describe the joint behavior of) by Line and
- Circle. Better still, this operation may be a subclass of the more generic
- operation intersectFigure within the framework of Figures. Of course, the
- question "which operations can this object participate in?" is legitimate.
