Objects provide many features that tuples do not. Object provide inheritance
and information hiding. Objects have access to their type at runtime, so that
the ``is`` operator can be used to determine the object's type.

Object fields that should be visible from outside the defining module, have to
be marked by ``*``. In contrast to tuples, different object types are
