It isn't so clear.  You have to look at the code, and at the eval terms,
and then calculate the worst-case score swings that can produce.  I'm not
sure how oop is going to solve that...

Unless you are talking about each piece evaluation term being a separate
"object/method" entity so that you could run them at startup and get the
error estimates.  But if you have piece/square tables, that counfounds this
as you have to know how the piece square tables get modified during the game
to get the accurate estimate...

it is messy no matter how it is done...
