Well, I think I could teach the container idea to any beginner, I could even explain Thing.do() instead of do(Thing).
It's the inheriting part that bothers me, or rather: the idea of creating a hiarchy of objects. I never feel the need for a hiarchy and I wouldn't be able to point out any potential hiarchy in my objects. And *if* there could be an element to be pointed out which could be so generic it should be a seperate object, then it's usually a small object and it's hardly worth breaking it up. I mean, let's not inherit purely for sake of inheriting and nothing else.
