What if the method has signature m<T>(object x, ... T...). How do we know you don't want to pass the value of constant Texture2D as x? "of" would wrap it into an internal class that would be known as carrying generic parameter types and always unwrapped.
load_Texture2D clashes with name mangling and is not composable. What if you want to call method with parameter Dictionary<string, List<object>>? With "of" you would do: load of(Dictionary.of(System::String, List.of(Object)) Tomas From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mike Moore Sent: Wednesday, November 26, 2008 12:02 PM To: ironruby-core@rubyforge.org Subject: Re: [Ironruby-core] IronRuby and XNA.

We are open for more ideas. Couldn't you just send in the constant? What would the Kernel#of method do for you? myTexture = content.load Texture2D, "mytexture" Or, could you use method_missing? myTexture = content.load_Texture2D "mytexture" Tomas
