Maybe I should also point out that an object with "dozens" of methods is an
exceptionally poor idea. By forcing the programmer to write out the stubs,
maybe we could hope that s/he won't be so mindless and will realize that
the design sucks.

This example illustrates the well-known danger in using macros.
