Could be useful, sometimes. But why would one write a mathematical class that then uses default addtion? Adding two Dogs isn't too meaniningful either and it gives normally 10 more or so. What about: newclass P10, "Dog" mmd_dispatch P10, "__add" which then points the vtable slot of C<Dog::add> to MMD. leo
