in thread Alias vs Reference

You seem to have misread what I wrote. I didn't say it aliased the arrays.

No. I know you you never said that.

I was just pointing out that the difference between "a reference to an array of aliases" and an aliased array is subtle enough that it is easy to be surprised by the difference in their behaviors as code evolves over time.

typeglob aliasing on the other hand is easy to understand and reliable in its behavior. Much under used in my opinion.

With the rise and rise of 'Social' network sites: 'Computers are making people easier to use everyday'
Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.
"Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority".
In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.

The start of some sanity?
