Actually, to be precise, Obj-C does have the fragile base class problem,

recompile any subclasses that access their inherited ivars directly.
Right, but it can be easily worked around (eg. using techniques similar to
what I've just posted for class vars), entirely seamlessly, and entirely
without a need to recimpile anything -- thanks to ObjC dynamicness.
There is *no* workaround for the FBC hell in C++ (but not using it and
defining quite independent API, which is precisely what COM does).
