+ * Fooling around with Blocks in C to create pseudo-classes and -instances.
+ *
+ * In this case instance-bound methods are closures which happen to be stored
+ * in the item they're bound to.
+ *
+ * Unfortunately, although the compiler knows the difference, a function and a
+ * type having the same name is not allowed, else we could just have a nice
+ * sugar Post() function doing alloc() and init().
+ *
+ * Requires (obviously) clang or Apple's GCC block patches.

+ *           --- And now for something completely different ---
+ *
+ * The venerable master Qc Na was walking with his student, Anton. Hoping to
+ * prompt the master into a discussion, Anton said "Master, I have heard that
+ * objects are a very good thing - is this true?" Qc Na looked pityingly at his
+ * student and replied, "Foolish pupil - objects are merely a poor man's
+ * closures."
+ *
+ * Chastised, Anton took his leave from his master and returned to his cell,
+ * intent on studying closures. He carefully read the entire "Lambda: The
+ * Ultimate..." series of papers and its cousins, and implemented a small
+ * Scheme interpreter with a closure-based object system. He learned much, and
+ * looked forward to informing his master of his progress.
+ *
+ * On his next walk with Qc Na, Anton attempted to impress his master by saying
+ * "Master, I have diligently studied the matter, and now understand that
+ * objects are truly a poor man's closures." Qc Na responded by hitting Anton
+ * with his stick, saying "When will you learn? Closures are a poor man's
+ * object." At that moment, Anton became enlightened.
