I think we need a reference first http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overloading
now, put into rev context... sorry if I go overboard - im a bit overloaded ;) if you pass an object or use the function in any dynamic way, you can adapt the type of the passing object (the parameter or a reference to (or reference to a group of them) ) to any function or polymorphised handler or function within dynamic or chosen (controlled) objects types... on dynamicDoCreate something do "create" && something or get "create"&something&() etc... that's instantiating (creating meta-methods in this case) and overloading either operator function or the parameter via an abstract "object-function". The twist here is using dynamic scripting and semantics to virtualize the object. does that make sense? in other words, the user can call any function via a handler that is adaptable. whether the function (create <something> exists can be even created via association (create banana = create fruit because banana is a fruit and only the create fruit exists). A bit of prolog ideology if you ever tried the prolog thing - I never did but I studied language design hence I know a bit about lots of languages... cheers Xav > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of > Dave LeYanna > Sent: Monday, October 17, 2005 6:31 PM > To: How to use Revolution > Subject: Re: ANN: New Website for TAOO > > Maybe he should have said "Add what you need", not "change > what you need" whis is what overloading is (I think...) > > Dave > > Mark Wieder wrote: > > >xavier- > > > >Monday, October 17, 2005, 12:09:02 AM, you wrote: > > > > > > > >>Subclassing is a bit different: > >>You have a mehod called CreateClient that creates clients.
