What happens when you try it? Read more... (789 Bytes) The magic goes away. I didn't know that for sure when I posted, but I suspected that would be the case. That's why I also mentioned using overload. Read more... (791 Bytes) That works fine except for having to overload `'='` too. Either way, I think it's altogether too much hassle to test a cache so simple.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
