While thinking about this very thing for a VM I was/am working on, a class isa namespace. And really, I'd probably start by implementing namespaces as a simple Hash. so, class isa namespace isa hash isa type. (type is my pmc like thing, I can't believe I thought about my "type" stuff before I started reading this list :o) How well this will actually work for me or Parrot? I've no idea. -- Thomas Fjellstrom [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://strangesoft.net
