    Data Structures are simply structures
    Code:
    struct r{
        int a;
        char b;
    } rstruct;
    Data Objects

    We shouldn't be quick to criticize unless we can do better.
    Code:
    public function __clone() { die ( "I'm one of a kind" ); }

    Well a class is as much a "data structure" as a structure by name - they are in all ways besides default access privileges the same.
