Is it a good idea to overload this operator? 1. class objectExemplar: “turn the `objectExemplar` into a class” 2. class obj: “get the class of obj” I would give operator #2 the name `classof` and let `class` only return the own property value of `constructor`. -- Dr. Axel Rauschmayer a...@rauschma.de home: rauschma.de twitter: twitter.com/rauschma blog: 2ality.com
