Yep. My planned layout of classes inheritance will look like this: [default.pmc] ^ | | [sub.pmc] [contination.pmc] .... [default.pmc] ^ | [scalar.pmc] ^ | [perlint.pmc] [array.pmc] .... For the perl* classes, it might be useful, to insert another "perlscalar.pmc" to inherit from. >>Summary: >>default.pmc catches errors, and may provide e.g. ->name or ->type. >>scalar.pmc will be the default scalar base class. > Why only (or even) ->name and ->type?

[ SNIP ] Thanks for this comprehensive list. leo
