in thread Double quoted string as method call

I don't think that's ugly at all. In fact, it's my prefered method of dynamically calling methods. Seems to me it's the most official way of doing it (for timtowtdi definitions of "official").

    I find it ugly because

    • you have to specify the object twice for one method call
    • if you're assumption about the existance of the method is wrong you get a very poor error message
    • it uses unnecessary dereferencing
