A good OOP class to use for example in the manual?

[David Bateman]

I still have a couple of issues with the OOP code in Octave, and am 
looking at

* Ability to load/save classes, including saveobj and loadobj methods
* get dbstop to work in class methods

but apart from that I'm pretty much ready put some words to paper (or 
rather bits to a file) for the OOP documentation for the 3.2 release. I 
wrote a fairly complete Galois field GF(2^M) class just to try and find 
out how all of this stuff was put together. However, this class seems a 
bit complex as the stuff about primitive polynomials of the field are 
added details that most users really don't need to know. Does anyone 
have an idea of a good example class that might be used that

1) Demonstrates all details of the OOP code
2) Is relatively simple
3) Has some basically useful function

Matlab used a polynomial class and an asset/stock hierarchical class in 
their documentation, but I'd rather not use something that is too 
similar to what they use to remove all risk of accusations of plagiarism.
