There is virtually no doubt about that, even among C-lovers.

Now, just to continue to be the pain in the ass, I would note that IMO an
"everything turns around something" design would be a big mistake and as
far from OO-ness as it gets. :)

its current status, I will shut up and will not go into the long
discussion about "the ways the things should be".
