I am just completing an experiment where I am programming with roles. A
role name stands for one or more objects; the actual binding occur at
run time. Example:<br>
<i>(self playerForRole: #currentStar) displayLarge</i><br>
It would be much more readable if I could write something like<br>
<i>¤currentStar displayLarge </i> or <i>§currentStar
displayLarge</i> or <i><span class="moz-smiley-s1"><span> :-) </span></span>currentStar
displayLarge </i>or ...<br>
<i>currentStar </i>is a role name, <i>self playerForRole:</i>
searches down the stack to find the appropriate object binding .<br>
<br>
I suppose I have to choose an appropriate syntax and doctor the
compiler. Any ideas?<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>
