I guess this is idispatch popularised by visual basic. Similar could
be done in J without using the dot syntax, such as,
get__cities ('Sheets' ; 'DK') ; ('Range' ; 'B1' ) ; 'Value2'
5.5 set__cities ('Sheets' ; 'DK') ; ('Range' ; 'B1' ) ; 'Value2'
however no one yet willing to paid money for it. Cannot drink it. ;-)
