You can believe him. But he will not understand the internals of
the new form stuff eighter.

The amount of code of the ooh replacement has grown rapidly from
about 17k to 90k. Most of this is due to the inline
documentation. I've used a kind of java doc that might cause 30k
of it, another big peace might be caused by strict programming.
Nearly all slots are modified by methods, encapsulation is quite
strong. I did not want to go another way - it's to complex to
allow beginners to access slots directly.

If you're in getting an idea of the internals, use the method
introspection() which is still in every class for debugging
purpose to dump the data structure.
