Hmm, no, these deal with normal object attributes.  I believe you're
thinking of properties.  I'll put together some sketch code with what
I already have and post that.

Thanks,

Are you intending to use these to store instance attributes?  I thought the
point of these was to store annotations on PMCs--something very different
from member variables.

Perhaps the discussion would be clearer if you were to sketch out the
specific
behavior you would like to enable in the HLL.
