Well, it can be handy. Right now, I'm working on a system that'll have a "profile" class-wide type and a "controller" classwide type. They're each going to get references to each other. Unless I can figure a way around it, this means the profile and controller will need to be declared in the same package, and since they're both tagged, it's going to be a mess sorting out the primitive operations. So yeah, having an OO kind of syntax to say what's a primitive operation of which would probably help in this case. It would be nice to have dynamically-dispatched protected objects and tasks, as well. -- Darren New San Diego, CA, USA (PST). Cryptokeys on demand.
