Hi Bruce,
$ was used in Unicon's ancestor Idol, but I tried to do away with $ entirely in
Unicon since the period is more standard syntax. You might almost say that $ is
kept only for Idol-backwards compatibility. At one point after we had mostly
switched to the period operator, the dollar was still required for
object$classname.methodname overrides of inheritance. I kind of doubt that it
is still so required, but I cannot remember off-hand.
Cheers,
Clint

Subject: [Unicon-group] Use of . and $ in object field references
Good evening to all this beautiful night,
I am putting this question to the group and not posing this a private
question for Clinton so that there is a public record of both question
and answer for others as well.
The question is
Is there any need now for using $ in referencing a superclass over the
use of . In referencing the same superclass?
From the current implementation and from the usage within the Unicon
distribution, it appears that $ is not actually needed.
Is my understanding actually correct or am I missing some subtle effect
of the use of $?
regards
Bruce Rennie
