Don't want to sound like a spoilsport, but I guess when such a design is
finished, it would became obvious that they just reinvented SmallTalk ;)
Incidentally, correct me please if I am wrong, but unless there was some
re-definition of terms lately, I guess we *are* working procedurally in ObjC
with objects. So far as I know, "procedural" programming is an antonyme to
"declarative" programming (like in Prolog, or, rather, like what Prolog was
designed for but did not quite fulfilled ;)), and has nothing to do with
objects or lack of them at all.
