This reminds me... another way to to shorten the accessor discussed in the
RFC process was something like Delphi & VB's 'with' syntax:
<VB>
with Application.ActiveSheet
.cells(1,1) = "Title"
.language = "English"
end with
Application.ActiveSheet.cells(2,1) = "Slow way"
</VB>
I can't remember if this actually found its way into an RFC--anyone have a
reference? I could envisage this prototyped in P5 with a source filter to
deal with a syntax like this:
<Pseudo-Perl>
with $XL->{Application}->{ActiveSheet} {
->cells(1,1) = "Title"
->language() = "English"
}
</Pseudo-Perl>
Does such a thing exist already?
