Sorry, my I sent the post before checking. The above was meant as "the name
was taken from". Nothing implied about actual code ;)

If Ruby has good namespece support, why didn't you use it?
I think a class name like "OPAL::Object" would be more easily uderstood
than "Morph"...

This Q* is a "internal namespace" issue, so I agree that it would not be a
good idea.
Because of C++ has no real root object, naming a class "Object" would be
even possible.
