Obviously, OBJ was invented long before Google searches :-). It took
me a long time to find a link that actually had anything to do with
the language. A better search string is "OBJ3". Unfortunately, I'm
still clueless; none of the available references explain what you
meant.

I'm curious... How is OBJ an excellent example of that? It sounds like
a useful property!
