This paragraph went way over my head.
But, it sort of reminded me to ask about something else:
Are anonymous methods (going to be) compatible with event methods?
i.e. are they 'procedure of object' (or 'function of object') kind of
constructs.
The reason I am asking this is: There have been times when I could kill
to be able to assign (temporarily) a local procedure/function an
object's event (say, OnClick) so that I could capture the event's
outcome right in there wthin the body of the active routine.
Would this be possible?
In theory one could extend the "reference to" procvars to handle normal
methods as well. But then the event handler would need to be defined as
a "reference to" procvar as well instead of an "of object" one. An "of
object" procvar on the other hand is too fixed. Only the new procvar
type introduced together with anonymous functions would be flexible
enough so that it could be used as a replacement for all other procvars
(if implemented correctly in the compiler).

Sven
