Following the argument that inheritance is not essential for OOP
because (1) it is most important in the analysis phase, and (2), it
can be simulated:

There is no need for any module support in the programming language.
The modularization is made during the analysis phase, and procedure
and function names are sufficient to do the subroutine call.

Anyone care to comment?
