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.
