Other words that convey a similar idea: variable - the "expression" is really a variable (a value that can be modified or retrieved). value - the "expression" represents a settable/gettable "value" shortcut - the "expression" is a shortcut for calling a (potentially) chained series of method calls flatten - the "expression" flattens the chained series of method calls --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
