46 ;;Quote: a fundamental property of successful computers is that memory is a sequence of words or bytes, addressed by integers

46 ;;Quote: code generation is inefficient for languages whose semantics are not close to the bytes-and-pointers model; often 3 to 10 times slower, especially with dynamic typing

53 ;;Quote: for operator overloading, assignment, equality, subscripting, and function call are more important than addition and subtraction

53 ;;Quote: a concrete type or value type is like an 'int'; it does one thing well and efficiently without inheritance; e.g., 'date'

56 ;;Quote: to define vectors: vector is distinct from vector, constructed by a library, with v[i], and destruction when done

62 ;;Quote: types of iterators: input or read-only, output or write-only, forward iterator or read-write, and random access

67 ;;Quote: use inheritance to isolate users from changes in the implementations of derived classes; e.g., use 'ival_box' to prompt user for an integer value

71 ;;Quote: keeping two related, but different sets of data is asking for trouble; sooner or later someone will get them out of sync

71+;;Quote: a protected interface should contain functions, types, and constants only; otherwise programmers will mess with protected data and cause maintenance problems
