That's pretty much the definition of LTA. The programmer did something that on some level involves a call (in the simple example it was explicit, but there are some implicit ones in the language), and got a runtime error referencing an internal name instead of something preferably compile time related to what they wrote. The fix for this is to abstract it into a role that describes "calling"/"invoking" instead of having a CALL-ME that the user didn't (and probably shouldn't) define suddenly pop up out of nowhere. That isn't the part that's difficult, aside from "so why wasn't it done that way to begin with?". -- brandon s allbery kf8nh sine nomine associates [email protected] [email protected] unix, openafs, kerberos, infrastructure, xmonad http://sinenomine.net
