Already done. It's cool, and compiling it felt like unwrapping
birthday gifts.
Still, Eiffel libraries are "complex" due to the use of MI and
descendant hiding and I couldn't find a good tutorial. Documentation,
considering such complexity and the difference between Eiffel and
lower-level languages like Ada, M3 and the like, is too scarce.

So far Eiffel seems the language I'd hope to code in for other tasks
than number crunching, where OO software engineering weights more.
