Two comments:

1) Pointers like the above are wonderful, and materially decrease my ignorance.
   Thanks to everyone posting them from time to time.  More! More! :)

2) mixins.ps is particularly interesting.  I've suspected for some
   time that with OOP we are seeing the first primitive gropings 
   toward a real algebra of programming.  Inheritance gives us sort
   of very primitive datastructures at the program algebra level:
   With Patel's phunctors, we seem to be seeing re/invention of the
   function at the program algebra level.  Bravo!
     Here's betting a beer that this general line of development
   will turn out to be quite important once we get at least a dim
   notion of what it is all about...
