I somehow doubt that we will see any classes and methods in Rev
within a year. And such terms will surely confuse most of the Rev
users, unless you want V4REV used only by the advanced ones. If you
stay with classes and methods, you are increasing the entry barrier
to use your program. This is like my giving you a cookbook in Russian
but insisting to use Polish names for key ingriedents.
Listen to what Trevor is saying.
