On the sixth hand, by that argument, since .dispatcher is aiming at

why not wash all these hands altogether?

implementing a final trait should be trivial enough (it just throws an

sorry if this has been discussed before, I did a quick search in the
Archive and the summaries but can't find a similar topic.
I've just read A12, and while I really like the inherent orthogonality
of the whole object system as it is (will be) implemented, there is
something that puzzles

On the third hand, maybe we should go for $obj._meta_ or some such.
I don't like _foo_ names. Once you shart having things with underscores,
it's only a matter of time before someone decides that

hmmm... I think you should probably also grep for modules that do something
