Interesting... I remember that some years ago, I fiddled around with
functions, operators etc. to allow a method like syntax -- but I ever
was worried this approach would have serious weaknesses -- are there any
principal hindrances to having methods, if no, can this be implemented
in a straightforward way?
Thank you in advance,
Nick
