Re: CFC complaints (was Re: [CFCDev] Native CF tags and local scope)

I'm not attempting to downplay the usefulness of CFCs in any way. I 
understand they are not meant to provide object capabilities inline 
with Java. However, it seems clear to me that there are parts of CFCs 
that could have been implemented much better. I am simply pointing out 
what those parts are. Is it not like CFCs had to be implemented the way 
they are to achieve the goal they currently achieve.

I believe that CFML is a mature enough language that Macromedia should 
have included the community in the design and implementation of CFCs 
because they are such a significant change to the language. The 
community is much larger than Macromedia and likely has a better 
understanding of what is the best implementation to achieve a goal. I 
imagine the community would have said no to the output and roles 
attributes.
