:So what makes a function a "poor" abstraction???  In the right
:context (and the one under consideration is a good example), it
:can be the perfect abstraction.  The real problem is, _all you
:have are classes_, and it just is plain not true that all the
:world's a class.

The types of Eiffel (and probably other language's) classes that I can think of
are:

  a) Data only, or
  b) Actions only, or
  c) Data and actions.

Isn't this sufficient to model any real world phnomena? By adding various 
contraints and relationships between such classes, you can describe anything.
What do you have in mind that can't be described with classes?
