I meant that the compiler writer now needs to support objects, which is a
bit of extra work over what I have imagined the compiler writer putting
into this. I did not state this clearly by any means. I agree, it also
adds work for the library writer, and the work you normally associate with
implementing a = b.Multiply(c) would be transferred to that person.
