OO-ness (object-oriented-ness) is a design attribute. You can have 
perfectly good OO-ness without type extension, dispatching, or 'Class. 
You can have it in Ada 83 or assembler. Similarly, the use of type 
extension, dispatching, or 'Class doesn't give you OO-ness. They give 
you programming by extension, which does not necessarily have anything 
to do with OO-ness.
