Re: How about in INC opcode

Yes, farther along in the thread we talk about making RPG more perlish,
while I think perls object syntax is not only weak but unintuative it
beats nothing. When I say unintuative I mean non standard because perl
uses the dot operator to cat strings together it has to have another
operator to show object relation it is -> . So in perl it would be
object->property or object->method.
 
If RPG does implement objects lets keep it like Java Script
object.property, 
it makes it much easier move from language to language.
