[chuck-users] class abuse

[Andrew C. Smith]

[ArraySet.ck]:line(84): function 'iterator at 0@Set' was defined with
return type 'Iterator' -- but returning type 'ArraySetIterator'
[ArraySet.ck]: ...in function 'iterator'

My guess is that the compiler does NOT know about ArraySetIterator,
but is rather just parroting the line "ArraySetIterator iterator," and
doesn't find out about it until later. This is where C would use class
prototypes (or whatever they're called) in a header file, but I'm not
sure if ChucK can do that.

(Kas & David): I think it's a priority issue here--when there's a
fairly simple workaround, the limited development resources (Ge) are
probably better spent on things like GC, and these things can be
referenced on the list. I think the best solution for things like this
would be continual updating of the wiki, because the wiki does have
the potential to be a fantastic document, given some community
involvement.
