Abstract

This paper is based on a speech delivered at the ECOOP’98 Conference Banquet. It is not a literal transcription of my talk, since no recording was made, but has been reconstructed ex post facto based upon my speaker’s notes and my memory. I have also taken the opportunity to add some headings and references.
