This is rather straightforward:
(dm foos> ()
(mapcar cdr (val (or (: Foos) (var: Foos)))) )
Then we can try
: (foos> '+Foo) # Send message to class
-> ($385464611 $385464635 $385464656)
: (foos> '$385464611) # Send message to object
-> ($385464611 $385464635 $385464656)
With this solution we still avoid hard-coding the class into the method,
which would give problems, for example, if the 'foos>' method were
inherited by a subclass.
Cheers,
