I have no direct need for objects, but I have been wanting to play with 
the FDA (Functional Data Analysis) package provided by Ramsay & 
Silverman, http://ego.psych.mcgill.ca/misc/fda/. This software uses 
objects a _lot_, so I thought I'd give it a test run. It would seem that 
it uses 'superiorto', so it doesn't work :-(
I don't know how common it is to use 'superiorto', but the software that 
I've found to be of interest uses it...
