I'm wondering, does Unicon have any ability to "tie" classes to
primitive data structures, or is it planned?

For those who aren't familiar with Perl, what this basically means is
that you can implement a class that implements the semantics of an
associative array, list, set, or other built in datatype and then bind an object of the class to the primitive type and treat it like the primitive type.


Common applications are to tie an associate array to an DBM store, or
to implement a sorted list using a specialized tree structure, etc. I think Unicon has some of these features built in, but its nice to be able to extend it within the language itself, rather than having to change the interpreter.
