O.K., but C++ also has declarations, so there *is* an analogy. Granted, the
whole scheme of things is dramatically different, (Header files don't
actually "execute" and inclusion of such things is lexical inclusion, etc.)
but you can see the same sort of things happening. When declaring an object
of a given class, space is allocated, its constructors are executed, etc.
That would be "elaboration" in a broad sense of the word.
