Uh, where are the extra classes he is talking about? All I see are
user specified ADTs that will be mapped to primitive hardware types
in a header file for the compiler.
As a translationist, I haven't written any OOPL code in nearly two
decades, but back when I was doing that, this was already SOP and
you got your thumbs broken if you didn't do it to allow stronger
error checking by the compiler's preprocessor. In fact, I used to do
this in C, where there weren't any classes, back in the late '70s.
