>From a white paper on Curl [1]:

  "The part of Curl that is used like a conventional programming
  language most resembles Dylan, before it was changed to use
  C-like syntax."

Also,

  "The object semantics of Curl are similar to those of Java and C++"

So it sounds like it doesn't support the 'generic function/method'
form of objects.
