What's the situation in which instantiate is required because the current arrangment doesn't work? Generally, it's good to know what problem you are trying to solve before you try to solve it. :-) For example: > Both variants are almost equally fast[2], but the latter has much more > potential of passing args e.g. > > o = __instantiate(.Complex, 2, 3) # [3] > o = __instantiate(.Complex, "2 + 3i") > > or > > cl = getclass 'MyClass' > o = __instantiate(cl, p0, p1, 'extra' => p2) Why not use the existing method call technique for this, and simply standardize on a method name? -- Chip Salzenberg <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
