#But the only way to do that woud be:

#    attr foo = ["a","b","c"]

#2) Alternate assignment operator.

#    foo := ["a","b","c"]
#
#3) Prefixed local vars.
#

#I myself have suggested before that

#be essentially equivalent to

#And that constants and methods share the same namespace.

Agree on all.
Thanks, Trans.
