[Self-interest] Hiding object internals

[Randy Smith]

Jiri, not sure exactly what you want, but how about

(|
parent1* = (| a = 11. b=22 |).
parent2* = (| a = 22. secretInnerSelf = (| b=33 |) |).
a = 1
|)

The above would fit your stated requirement of having parent2 hold some secret inner structure.  Does this solve your “mismatching” problem?

Hello!

Assume an object:

(|
parent1* = (| a = 11. b=22 |).
parent2* = (| a = 22. b=33 |).
a = 1
|)

Sending 'a', gives '1' as expected:-)
Sending 'b' gives an error: "More then one 'b' slot was found .."

What if I need the parents to hide some of their inner structure to not mismatch with other objects? Click-on-a-slot / Make-private seems to be only cosmetic/annotation thing.


Regards,
Jiri
