This is a reasonable point, but do keep in mind that this is also true of
simple objects. For example, when dealing with !(char *)! objects, don't
you practically always find that you need operations on them beyond any
simple model that could reasonably be supported directly via language
operators? !strcmp()! is just one of the simplest examples.
