You're not mistaken; but if you have a need for it, it shouldn't stop
you from doing it; well, unless the differences between permutations
are very minimal and wouldn't suffer from being "merged" into a single
one (instead of deferred binding, you'd route to the appropriate class
within your application code: if (5 <= time && time < 12) { impl = new
MorningImpl() } else if... )
