in thread Assignable Subroutines

Agree 100% .. I don't know if I'd use this feature, but it's something other OO languages have, and it's use seems to be more than non-trivial (as examples elsewhere in this thread and the original hopefully prove).

A question to someone who knows a lot more than I do, how do other languages handle the more complex cases? i.e.

$obj->method++;

... etc ...

    VB at least doesnt support such things as far as I know. It certainly doesnt support ++ at all. Im not sure what happens if you pass byref a property, I suspect you can't but I havent checked. (Yet.)
