No. We would have set_p_kc set_p_ki set_p_kic ... special shortcut set/get, only one key per op allowed and op_p_k_p_k ... unary keyed, all k are KEYs op_p_k_p_k_p_k ... 3 keys bin op, all k are KEYs All 64 combinations would be a horror. But I really vote for a predereferencing like solution. > Tom leoThread Previous | Thread Next
