The idea (as I recall) was almost like inst= ead of paramertizing on the types it was parameterizing on the data, so in = effect, instead of having the data in a record the data was in the [instant= iation] of the package itself. I would like to find it for a second read-through but have had no luck in f= inding it again. Does this spark a memory from anyone?
