Would I be right in saying that Fit's library functionality is based on
creating global variables which represent function objects ? If so this
seems a negative for me as I try, like many other C++ programmers, to
avoid using global variables in my modules. OTOH if Fit can work with
function objects which are member variables or local variables its
usefulness would be much greater IMO.
