OCTAL includes a package called ox_wrappers, which is designed to simplify OCTAL machine
programming through the use of syntactic features of C++. This section only explains
the differences between raw OX_API programming and ox_wrappers, so it will help to have read the chapter on OX_API first.
In a nutshell, your machine type is now a class; individual machines
are now instances of that class. This lets you have data members,
utility classes, and all the interesting features of C++ at your
disposal to create machines.
