If we have multiple and competing definitions, then it would be good to
preface one or more of these with an adjective. Of course a class can be an
object, just as a string can be, but that is somewhat beside the point since
we wouldn't define a digital video as something that can be an object
either. I don't know all OO languages -- in what way is a class an object
rather than a specification from which an object can be created? --dawn
