GS,

Don't throw with stuff you have zero way of knowing.

Nope, I didn't.   Why the hell should I ask when I would already know the 
answer ?   Thats not the kind of game I like to play, sorry.

Which was, as I'm not mentioning for the umptied time now, the reason why I 
mentioned "or something like it".   I even described what it could look like 
for god sake !

No.  The actual shocker is that you thought you should post a novice-level 
solution to someone who you could have known is /at least/ a bit above it.

But  for the record:  half of the "overloading" is already there, in the 
form of being able to name a function the same as an existing one or even a 
build-in one (that last bit surprised me by the way).    The only thing that 
I can't find is how to access the replaced one.  Multiple possible methods 
exist, some of which I even explained.   Others I've tested, but would not 
work.

Bottom line ?    I've done my stinking best to explain what I was after and 
to indicate, further down the thread,  what I thought would be possibilities 
in this regard (in the hope it would ring a bell somewhere) - only to have 
everything bluntly ignored.  not. a. single. word.    Am I a happy camper ? 
Hell no. :-(

Rudy Wieser
