%%short-description: Object-oriented language

%%full-description: An object-oriented language with garbage
collection, statistically-checked strong typing, multiple inheritance,
separate implementations and type inheritance, parameterized classes,
dynamic dispatch, iteration abstraction, higher-order routines and
iters, exception handling assertions, preconditions, postconditions,
and class invariants. Code can be compiled into C code and can link
with C object files. 

As a special feature, complete internationalization (including
unicode) is a native part of the included lib.
