Well, personally, I have no interest at all in pursuing this. I very much
like the fact that instance variables are private in Smalltalk.

And no, I'm not a Java/C++ person -- I've never used either language at
all, and I've been using Smalltalk since 1987.

Personally, I think the loss of being able to use instance variable names
as method names more than offsets any increase in apparent simplicity and
uniformity.
