Just to mention it (I do not intend to start another too long argument
:)
Could we get the language to handle dispatching calls that in some of
the
cases dispatches to a function and in some cases just get the return
value
from one array *big smile* ? I've quite recently implemented a hirarchy
with these properties by wrapping the arrays in functions. It would be
nice if the compiler could generate the wrappers by itself. But maybe
this
isn't a common enough problem ?
