Well, for some it's ignorance. However, I don't audacity has anything to do with it. Thinking of OO techniques to extend functionality at runtime for methods of a type is easier to think about for most.=20 Though, I think a decorator more closely matches a module functor*. However, if somebody is asking for help with an OO question, I'll give an OO answer. ;-) --=20 -Corey O'Connor * I say "module functor" because in the C++ world a "functor" stands for "function object" and confusing the two would be, well, confusing. Maybe just for me tho.
