That depends on what field you're working in.  If you're writing
compilers you may not need it very often.  If you're calculating
the positions of objects in the sky it comes up quite often.

One solution to the problem would be to provide a new keyword for
defining types with no default operations.  Only the operations you
explicitly defined would be available.
