Subject: Re: Automagic class prototyping

Thanks for the suggestions.  The problem with the rescue on NameError
technique is the exception gets thrown before we're actually in the
method body of allow, since the offender is a parameter.  I dig the
idea of combining allow and later, but it gets a little uglier since I
really need allow to take multiple args...

allow {[ClassA, ClassB, OpC]}

However, thats nicer looking than some of the other alternatives.  If
there was some sort of hook or metaprogramming magic that would delay
executing class bodies until everything was defined, that would be
ideal, but that might be stretching a little too far.
