This is classical Smalltalkish way of "everything is an object". You
may find the same idiom in Ruby as well. Quite handy and expressive
overall.

I find Vala quite good in stressing out typical object-oriented
paradigm features from underlying "non-object" POSIX API (as people
tend to approach it).
