Hmm. Yes, ok, I'd forgotten about that one, since I looked at it way back in
the NeXT days but never used it. Very good, thanks. That's another example
of an unsafe OO language where the lack of safety can lead to lack of
modularity with all the same problems as C++.

C# is only unsafe if you specifically tell it "hey, I'm doing something
unsafe." That doesn't really count, any more than a safe language that can
call out to C libraries is "unsafe".

Yes. It's part of an ongoing conversation, you see. "Access to private
members violates encapsulation." "Yes, and here's other ways to violate
encapsulation." See?
