It's unreadable, hard to maintain code. The DH themselves aren't too bad, but writing a compiler macro for an existing DX/DY function is more complicated than it should. The main advantage of the DX/DY/compiler macro way is that they can handle polymorphism, while DHs can't do that at the moment. -- Yann ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.
