My previous objection was about the style of argument ("This isn't
class-based.  Get used to it."), not about your actual proposal.  In
fact, inasmuch as I understand it, I approve of your proposal to use
the functions for both functions and object-makers, and distinguish by
capitalization.  This is in fact exactly what Python does (almost), and
it is, as I mentioned, a gigantic success in terms of bringing
Java-trained O-O programmers and more knowledgeable language hackers
together to play in the same sandbox.
