Warning, longish discussion on differences between the different ways of
doing OOP below.
I tried to experiment with both possibilities in Rebol, but the Generic
Function Based OOP seemed more promising for Rebol, although a little bit
more complicated to implement. Added the %methods.r (the class-based OOP
experiment) to my Rebsite. It is more than a year old, don't know if it
could be used for anything serious,...
