[Opencxx-users] Non-Member Functions Improve Encapsulation

[Grzegorz J. <ja...@he...>]

I came across an excellent material to support my earlier claim that adding
gratuitous member functions to Environment does not serve the design well.
See this column from C/C++ User's Journal by Scott Meyers:

    http://www.cuj.com/documents/s=8042/cuj0002meyers/

The prophet says:

    "If you're writing a function that can be implemented as either a member
    or as a non-friend non-member, you should prefer to implement it as a
    non-member function."
