Re: Behavior of Stream Attributes On Access Types.

["Marin David Condic" <dont.bother.mcondic.auntie.spam@[acm.org>]

Just to make sure I'm getting this correct in my brain, try this one out for
me: I have a tagged record that does not have any access values in it, so
using the standard-issue 'Output and 'Input is just fine. I inherit from
this and add some access values, so I need to create my own 'Read and
'Write, correct? (But not 'Output and 'Input) Then, 'Output and 'Input for
that descendent should work correctly without overriding anything, right?
Further, using the base type's 'Class'Output and 'Class'Input should work
correctly by dispatching up the ladder to find my home-grown 'Read and
'Write, correct? Then, just to make it more interesting, I inherit from the
second type and add more (non-access) fields. I *must* override my own 'Read
and 'Write to include the newly added fields? Or will it dispatch to the
'Read and 'Write in the second level, then go on to call the defaults for
the newly added fields?

My brain hurts! :-)
