Hum. Sorry. I'm a total newbie compared to all of you here,
but. yes, it is a language design question. What's
encapsultation and abstract data types? What's object-oriented programming
itself?... I thought that information hiding - and the related language
features are known to be good. That's why I really cannot follow your
point here.
