RE: Qualified procedure names

["Bartell, Aaron L. (TC)" <ALBartell@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I will speak up also!  I think qualified procedure names would be the bomb!
I can say that I would have not even thought if I had not learned Java.
Sometimes I wish I hadn't learned Java because every time I do RPG I start
thinking about how I could modularize and OOize stuff.  Like if RPG had
overloading I would love it!

Is "overloading" in RPG's future?

Scott,

Thanks for speaking up. That now makes three of us!

Hans, is that enough to qualify as a consensus? :)
