It might be foolish simplicity in this case. How hard/theoretically sound would it be to support iface multiple inheritance, so you can have your 'num' typeclass be a subclass of add, mul, sub, div? And how about separating the integer quotient from field division ifaces, since they're different operations, and a routine written for one likely won't work for the other? -Joe _______________________________________________ Rust-dev mailing list Rust-dev@mozilla.org https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/rust-dev
