Well, I find this one pretty elegant, though ;) And original :)

The 'end' one reminds me to Visualargh Basic too much (I know, I know, Eiffel also uses 'end', but then Meyer is a classicist ;)

not that I am suggesting a change (but we save 1 byte per class definition :) (and it's consistent with Procs... I love them :)

well, abayo,
