Written by the designer of C++, whose definition of object-oriented
is "Object-oriented programming is programming using inheritance".
The definition of "object-oriented" varies widely, but even if we
accept this definition, we need only obtain Classic Ada (or some
equivalent preprocessing product) in order to use inheritance in
an Ada environment, pending more direct support in Ada 9X.
