Yes, if you do anything complicated in C, you end up with your
basic data type being 'array of struct ...', a data object of
sorts, perhaps with some function pointers in there too.  However,
it is just a very different way of thinking when the only way
you can access data is through a method provided by someone else's
object instead of your own function.
