We're keeping initialize because a) it's a Ruby convention, b) backwards compatibility with existing classes. Also, would there be any mechanism for an AUTOMATIC destruct > mechanism?

I doubt that we'll ever have something like that. Users who want this behavior will have to explicitly define how and when do their objects get destructed. Automatic destruct mechanism would be bloat to the inheritance support code. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Prototype: Core" group.
