[Dennis writes that he can't call built-in sin() from inside a class that
has a sin() method.]
Hi Dennis,
It is true that class scope is more local than (and hides/overrides) the
global scope. This is a feature, not a bug.
>From inside your class, though, you can obtain a reference to the built-in
sin() function with proc("sin",0). So, you can have your cake and eat it too.
Look in the ipl for lots of examples of calling proc( ... , 0 ) whenever there
is a potential name conflict.
Another way to address it is via packages, but that would be a longer story
better told by our package-meister (hello, Robert!).
Cheers,
Clint
