|   But because the syntax of Eiffel itself is so radically different from
|   C, it offers no easy path for C programmers who want to do the object
|   thing.

is the argument here that the syntax of C++ is _not_ radically different
from that of C?  if that is the argument, you are truly lost, pal.  C++
syntax is different from _everything_ known to man, with a teeny-wheeny
subset that could pass for C if you aren't looking very carefully.
