Well I am not sure what to do... I don't want to drag multiple variables and logic and get those all rigged up in my page from the component just to do a single method... or two that take multiple parameters and reference multiple variables from within.
It would be nice if we had an arithmetic operator kinda like "prop:" "math:" and maybe a function operator "func:" so i can keep all my component logic self contained. Any last ditch efforts to accommodate my dreams ?
