Sure you gain convenience. As with a lot of other conveniences in programming, you lose abstraction. Using symbols to represent identifiers is also convenient, but considered a bad idea by many for the same reasons. The problem is that once abstraction is lost, you can't regain it. You *can* regain the convenience. -- Cheers =8-} Mike Friede, Völkerverständigung und überhaupt blabla
