Right, all templates are final, including opDispatch.
What I've done in the past is to forward them to a virtual
function with runtime arguments instead of compile time
arguments.
Kinda like:
void opDispatch(string name)() {
callMethod(name);
}
/* virtual */ void callMethod(string name) {
// do a reflection loop or associate array or switch or
whatever to dispatch it here, reimplemented (or at least
re-mixed-in) in the child classes to account for their new
methods
}
What exactly do you need to do with it? Maybe you can do an
alternative design.
Well, I found an alternative design not using opDispatch, not
fundamentally dissimilar to what you suggested above, thanks for
that, and it's not too uneconomical in its textual organization.
I was hoping to avoid doing any of my own dispatching when
inheritance would do it for me.
