How does the compiler know which is which? Is "10" a string? Is it a number? Is "10base-T" a string? Is it a number? Is an object with overloaded stringification and numification a number? Is it a string? I don't know a good heuristic for solving these problems. If you have one, it's worth considering though. -- c
