You may still want to couple it with strongtyping, as this provides a really convenient way to do what you want (check desired types), but you can do it with metatags alone. I've thought about doing this, in fact, for "documenting" builtin classes and their methods before. You shouldn't have a problem modifying the existing method_info or class_info tagsets to handle this. > Mephle looks very interesting .. might have to look into it later on. It's another can of worms. I should have an app or two that uses it coming out soon, though. ttyl, -- Ryan Pavlik "Do not question wizards, for they are quick to turn you into a toad." - 8BT
