[binarycloud-dev] dots, colins, and double-colins

[Alby L. <al...@th...>]

It sounds as though the import, include, or include_once ( I can't remember
which one this pertains to) delimiter problem has been solved, but I wanted
to throw in that Flash, as an odd ball comparison, also uses dots in
ActionScript to delimit objects:

_root.parent.child._attribute and the like, so when you're not dealing with
file names, it really kind of makes sense. One time when I did run into a
problem with this was when I was trying to control an attribute of a child
object with db driven data, I couldn't specify the object directly, or even
the object hierarchy (_root.parent) from the database because it won't let
me put dots into varchars. That, unfortunately, I am certain was my fault
and not necessarily a flaw in the system arch.


I also vote for _Dot Delimiters_. Hey - you just can't argue with
alliteration.
