Oh maybe.  I can't speak for the devs.  There were definitely issues with references not being counted that were causing much grief.  I was just pointing out that we're not covering new ground here.  There may be a leg-up in that patch from Graham that cold make implementing this really easy, if it does go through.

I ditched my work-around because I was having compatibility issues with others who weren't using my own secret, hacked version!  No fun to chuck alone.  :)

FYI: we've had this conversation before...


Indeed. But I also think we have -since then- found such glaring holes in the type-system as it relates to arrays and passing references that I think we resolved new features there made no sense until there were some big fixes. And then there is the GC stuff...

That may or may not explain why that patch wasn't pushed in?

Yours,
Kas.
