I get the point, but there might be some problems.
What would you except the following code to print?
a: make object! [test1: 1]
b: make a [test2: 2]
c: :b
f: func [obj [object!]] [
print obj/name
]
f a
f b
f c
I guess for a and b it should print 'a and 'b :)
But what about 'c?
After the first three lines, 'b and 'c will "point" to the same object.
Should it print 'b or 'c?
Furthermore, inside the function, all the objects will be called 'obj.
to make it even more tricky, consider this:
f make object! [test3: 3]
The object doesn't have a name!
