ok, because you asked, i'm going to let the wells run. i'd like to see
support for reflection type features. for functions i'd like be able to
access that function scope. so for example if you are in one function
and call another function you can access the scoped variables in the
first function. i'd like functions to have a name property as well like,
myfunction.name returns "myfunction". i'd like functions to have an
absolute path type of property like, myfunction.path returns
"myclass.myfunction". functions also have count property that increments
each time it has been called. i'd also like a this statement for
functions. like when you are in a function you access thisFunk to access
the function. so when you are in a function called calculateIt you could
do thisFunk.name and it would return "calculateIt". maybe this,
thisClass and thisFunction.
i'd like all strings to have a isTrue(), isFalse(), isNumber(),
isLetter(), isGreaterThan(), isEmail(), isCapitialized() members,etc.
myString.toPhone(), myString,replace(), myString.toDate("/,
mm,dd,yyyy"), myString.upperCaseFirstLetter() etc.
things to make repetitive stuff easy. also, like formatters and
validations built in. how AWESOME would that be?!!?!? frigging awesome,
that's what.
overloading would be great too! :)
