Hi, Ingo.
Caution - none of this works as expected.
Implementation: make object! [
s: "This is s - a string"
f: func [hello] [s]
]
Interface: make object! [
; f: get in Implementation 'f ; Copies Implementation/f
; f: func [] [Implementation/f] ; Not nice, boring.
; f: func first get in Implementation 'f
; second get in Implementation 'f Copy.
f: implement in Implementation 'f ; make a word which points to
another word to execute.
f: redirect in Implementation 'f ; make a word which points to another
word to execute.
]
; Something like this in REBOL would be nice:
C!: make class! [
s: "a string"
m: method [parameter] [s]
]
Cc: make C! [
m: overide method [blah] [join s blah]
]
