Re: RPG overloading (was RPGV?)

And while Barbara is implementing that feature perhaps she could add the "always" option that I've been asking for for years <grin>.

What I mean by this is a form of CONST that _always_ takes a copy and passes that. Right now it only produces a copy if there is a mismatch between the parm passed and that expected. I'd like to be able to guarantee that my data doesn't get changed no matter what happens in the called routine.

Just like the way CONST works now, the compiler generates code to
convert the data to whatever is specified on the prototype. The only
diff between this and the existing CONST support is that it'd be
roundtrip -- i.e. not just converted on input, but converted on output
as well.
