It seems to me that back in the SmallTalk days, I was in a conversation
with some folks about this.

They were talking about how there's two kinds of OOP here. One is
Object *Oriented* and the other was something like "object-centric" or
"object-related" or something like that.

It's like how there's HTML Strict, and HTML something else.

Anybody know what I'm talking about?
