[REBOL] [REBOL] Redefining functions with objects Re:

[mjelinek]

I'm currently defining a 'print element of an object as a function. I'm
assuming that the REBOL definition of 'print will be hidden in the
definition of this object (and definitions of functions local to the object)
- which is ok. Outside of the element 'print, the REBOL definition works
just fine. Following is the relevant piece of my object:

player-def: make object! [
        name: none
        connection: none
        ; METHODS
        ; - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 
        print: function [
                "Print a message to this player, with trailing new-line"
                msg [string! block!]
        ][new-msg][
                ; Cleanup the message suitable for telnet display
                new-msg: player-format-print msg
                append new-msg new-line
                append connection new-msg
        ]
        ; - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 
        prin: function [
                "Print a message to this player"
                msg [string! block!]
        ][new-msg][
                ; Cleanup the message suitable for telnet display
                new-msg: player-format-print msg
                append connection new-msg
        ]
]

I'm thinking of developing a class.
Let's call it 

tims-object

Suppose I write a function for this
class and I call it 

print 

Will 
tims-object/print 
redefine rebol's own print? 

I don't really want to do this, so
I would welcome comments on this.

thanks
