Yes, of course. C<find_method> *is* overridable and, as all method lookup is calling C<find_method>, the code can do whatever is needed. I'm describing the default implementation of Parrot, which should be a reasonable base for the target languages. > I continue to believe that it is not a good idea for Parrot to decide > apriori exactly which methods are to be mmd universally for all > languages and all objects. Again that's Parrot's default implementation performed via C<find_method> (or the extensions to the method lookup, I've outlined in several threads). It's up to C<find_method> to perform a MMD-ish lookup - or not. But given that PyPy is using MMD, I see no reason for Python on Parrot not to use MMD for the infix operators. MMD saves cascades of "if" statements checking the right operand's type. > - Sam Ruby leo
