Isn't it simpler to, as in C++, simply specify ::sin() when you want to
access the global function? I suppose
that's a package-based solution, but it seems more convenient than
having to use proc()
class Test()
method sin()
return ::sin(3.14)
end
end
procedure main()
local t := Test()
write("It returned " || t.sin())
end
