Re: [Objectscript-users] Addition to OScript syntax

[Rob C. <ro...@ti...>]

Hmm, I've recently just added a qualified "this" syntax, for example =20
"Foo.this"... the way it is currently supported is "Foo.this" =20
evaluates to the nearest "this" which is a "Foo".  As in:

function Outer()
{
   private var a =3D 1;
   function Inner()
   {
     private var a =3D 2;

     public function test()
     {
       private var a =3D 3;

       {
         var a =3D 4;

         writeln("a: " + a);
         writeln("test.this.a: " + test.this.a);
         writeln("this.a: " + this.a);
         writeln("Inner.this.a: " + Inner.this.a);
         writeln("Outer.this.a: " + Outer.this.a);
       }
     }
   }
}

maybe it would sense to support mixin's in a similar way, so you =20
could do something like "A.this.print()"?

thoughts?
