I was not aware how that RCR has to be interpreted, I meant something else. David (and Gevin in a private mail I did not understand very well, apologies Gevin) was very right when saying it is not obvious)? x=42 x.object_id => 85 x.succ! x.object_id => 87 and that would be a great mess I guess, Integer#succ! would need to know the binding as someone put it, would violate at least one paradigm of OO design (a method changin the scope of the caller) etc. etc. Funny how innocent it looked. Sorry for having wasted your time. But the good news is I do not feel like RCR anymore ;) Cheers Robert -- "The best way to predict the future is to invent it." - Alan Kay ------=_Part_54177_24332657.1168674548741--
