I actually had the reader in mind, myself. But perhaps it's not worth the semantic confusion. Once you get used to ["a"; "b"] it isn't all -that- more confusing than "a::b". > Python's exporter can use type() to choose with add_* interface to use > if necessary. It *is* possible. Indeed, for any given HLL "L", no one is in a better position than L's exporter to know which of L's objects are more function-like than variable-like. That's why the idiom is source.export_to(target) rather than target.import_from(source) -- Chip Salzenberg <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
