Or you can add a proper chain operator. OOC does that (I know they borrow it from another place, I just don't remember from where): me := RandomGuy new() me eatBreakfast() .drinkCoffee() .yawn() .goBackToBed() Some smart people call that "message chaining". It's different from cascade calling, though, because eatBreakfast() and his friends don't return anything. (in OOC a space " " is like a dot "." in D, and the dot is the chaining operator) I think this is a cleaner solution for that problem, you don't have to annotate the methods with "return this" and when you read the code using it, you know all the methods are being called on the *same* object, if you do x.add(y).add(z), the second add could be called in an object other than x. -- Leandro Lucarella (AKA luca) http://llucax.com.ar/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- GPG Key: 5F5A8D05 (F8CD F9A7 BF00 5431 4145 104C 949E BFB6 5F5A 8D05) ----------------------------------------------------------------------
