Of course, using such a definition, even Fortran IV code consisted of
classes!

Best way supportable? It is not hard to imagine even more
elaborate/elegant/complex way to write code using GNU Make
functions/macrosthat would make possible actual OO concepts like
inheritance and virtual functions. Like not defining functions directly but
through some meta function, and calling functions of some class through a
meta-function that would handle looking up the method in a class
inheritance hierarchy etc. No, I don't think that would be a good
idea necessarily. But surely you are suffering from some kind of bias if
you think the current situation is the best possible.

C is a completely different language than Make macros.
