Either it is shared or redundantly repeated... Or is a third case
possible? 
Am I not right that you mean situations when the sharing is unnecessary, 
and instead of helping it only paralyzes the program because every little 
change affects all the whole? Then it's a roblem of balance...

Nice book. I've had only a glace at it though, so I guess I'll follow your

advice! The only chapter O remember is that about the design (was it
called 
"Projection and Construction"?)
