How about all of the objects that are reusable in PowerBuilder?  Things
like Window, SQLCA, MLE, SLE, etc. objects which one uses time and time
again.  Similarly with other frameworks like MFC, where one uses
CDocument, CDialog, CView etc classes time and time again.  With these
objects and classes one has "immediate reuse" and "general reusability",
it seems to me.
