That strikes me as a good way to develop programs, but which few
programmers are likely to understand.  Most PC programmers *love* the
complicated addressing scheme in MS C and its ilk.  Perhaps Quantum
would increase the market for QNXif they devoted some effort to
deprogramming (forgive the pun) all those DOSiers who think complexity
is power.
