This raises the question what the consequences of a core OO mechanism
should be:

- Use the core OO only for new modules (they will be limited to 8.5 then)?
- Restyle the existing ones to take advantage of the core OO (same 
limitation,
  even worse)?
- Dual implementation?

I have no doubt OO will be useful, but we need to think about the 
existing code too.
