Somewhere else in this thread, you talked about =E2=80=9CMeaning, not fu= nction=E2=80=9D : = function is part of the meaning hold. A word, a symbol, is a Signifier, = = the Signifier tell us about a Signified, and the function is part of tha= t = Signified. Know it is redundant, but the reason of this redundancy has been explain= ed = (dedicated name-space). A question : will you bother about giving the same name to a type (or a = = prototype in human thoughts) as an to an instance, if the question was n= ot = raised by this lack of name-space ? If this was not Ada, Eiffel instead, will you bother ? Would you have = noticed this =E2=80=9Cproblem=E2=80=9D ? -- = Si les chats miaulent et font autant de vocalises bizarres, c=E2=80=99es= t pas pour = les chiens.
