You already can overload the assignment operator. That's what tie is. Overloading as it stands now works on the value, while tying works on the variable. (a contents vs container thing) Overload is a value thing, tying a container thing. Assignment is an operation on the variable rather than the value, so it should live in the world of tying, not overloading. -- Dan --------------------------------------"it's like this"------------------- Dan Sugalski even samurai dan@sidhe.org have teddy bears and even teddy bears get drunkThread Previous | Thread Next
