what if there was a core shortcut that hid the virtual methods -- the
selecte methods that are allowed to be overridden on a per-object basis
just like in C++
Without the core shortcut, you'd have:
package moderatable_fido;
sub new{
my $self = {};
$self->{sound} = \&dobark;
bless $self;
};
sub dobark { print "Woof!\n" }
sub bark { goto &{$_[0]->{sound}} }
incorporating such a declared virtual into Class::Object -- is it there
already?
