Nice approach. I don't like objective code, but I do write code in an
object oriented way.
Typically by having include files that contain essentially private data
accessible by predetermined functions.
It may turn out that 'going OO' is a good idea, but I'll wait till the
ideas develop.
In many ways I'd rather do that level of abstraction in the database as
well.
Still: food for thought.

Ineptocracy
(in-ep-toc’-ra-cy) – a system of government where the least capable to lead are elected by the least capable of producing, and where the members of society least likely to sustain themselves or succeed, are rewarded with goods and services paid for by the confiscated wealth of a diminishing number of producers.
