I take it you mean the 'key' there ?   In that case, agreed.

Heck, VBScript doesn't even want to know a 'by reference' passing of 
(numeric and simple string) arguments (a good indication of the "no side 
effects allowed" doctrine).

Indeed.

Although I could imagine a specific goal with what it currently does (being 
able to check which queries it received) it 1) does not belong in the object 
itself 2) is easy enough to create with the rest of the language(s).
