Sorry for the misunderstanding, but when you said that someone should take this proposal up and help make sure it gets in the next batch, I believed you thought we could take this proposal as is. Deeply sorry for my error. But now we have at least two tasks to do before we can put up the proposal: define what operations should be supported by String and should we apply this proposal in the next batch. Given that this proposal will break many codebases (we shouldn't hope to apply all of list's syntax to this string type) should we apply it alone or wait until we have more other codebase-breakers to apply ? -- ARJANEN Loïc Jean David http://luigiscorner.wordpress.com --- "Computer science is no more about computers than astronomy is about telescopes, biology is about microscopes, or chemistry is about beakers and test tubes. Science is not about tools. It is about how we use them, and what we find out when we do." Michael R.
