What about Object::KVC, Object::KVC::String, Object::KVC::List?

I found this idea in Head First OOA&D <http://headfirstlabs.com/books/hfooad/>, chapter 5. It's somewhat like a very simple version of Key-Value Coding <http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/KeyValueCoding/Articles/Overview.html%23//apple_ref/doc/uid/20001838-SW1>. It's also very similar to Object::Generic <http://search.cpan.org/%7Ejmahoney/Object-Generic-0.13/lib/Object/Generic.pm> but I didn't use AUTOLOAD and I implemented 'equals' and 'contains' methods in order to make the objects searchable within a container. Here's an example: my $a = tbd_name::Object->new(); my $b = tbd_name::Object->new(); $a->set( "ID", tbd_name::String->new("1234a") ); $b->set( "ID", tbd_name::String->new("1234a") ); print $a->get("ID"); $a->equals($b) ? print "yes"; $container = tbd_name::List->new(); $container->add($a); $container->search($b); #which returns $a What do I call this thing? I'm thinking the namespace would be 'KeyValue::' or 'KeyVal::' Would that make sense? (That namespace doesn't seem to be used.) Should this go in 'Class::'? Thanks.
