This is definitely non-true. The 'create' statement would have lots of
applications. On top of my mind I can think of 'create' applied to:
- bunches;
- modules;
- interfaces;
- properties;
- usage in framewors, for instance providing sugar for
Object-Relational mappers,
for making templates (i.e. a create HTMLPage);
- building custom minilanguages;
- ...
This is way I see a 'create' statement is frightening powerful addition to the
language.
