Jean-Louis,
your experimental ::extension mechanism brings ooRexx up on par with
many modern object-oriented programming languages (e.g. C#, Objective
C), which allow to add behaviour (methods) to existing classes in an
easy and straightforward ooRexx manner !
For me it would be a logical

That's correct.
I can run your script in my sandbox, and I get the result you are expecting.
Just a few words about the changes I made in my sandbox : in fact I made
almost nothing ! Everything is in place in the current interpreter to
support this kind of extension... I had just to unlock

That's just great!!
Do you happen to have a build of your version of ooRexx somewhere :)

the concept of a class extender needs to be part of the model for how
a class works, including the implementation of the restriction on
method overrides. It should be possible to query the extensions on
what has been added to

Rick, do you mean in this manner here ? just to understand if the feature
could be accepted, but with a different approach, or if the feature is
really not wanted.

I am -1 to implementing this by using inherit and define and removing
the restrictions. The concept of extensions should be a new
capability of classes, not just bolted over the existing mechanisms.
ok :-)
Needless to say that i'm *very* interested by more details about what could

Well, by new capability, I mean new methods that implement this
mechanism. As a general principle, the directive instructions just
map to methods (or a series of methods) on the Class class. It is
possible to create a new class just by invoking the methods, though
that is rarely done. So
