I do agree with you that I'm not sure about the significance of this. The actual difference is limited entirely to the function call itself... That's a tiny part of a language. BTW, I'd say that as much as I like Smalltalk selectors, they don't qualify for this: they can't be used out of order, and in fact they're part of the method name, not the parameters. > -Rod -Billy
