RE: RFC 89 (v2) Controllable Data Typing

[Lipscomb, Al]

With some of the other suggestions to improve the "object" model in Perl I
was wondering if this would not be the time to ask about object-like
behavior around the simple scalar things. 

For example if we had something like this:

my $id;
$id = "007";
print "My ID is $id->string\n";


Having methods and properties on the basic data types seems like a nice
thing.

Just a thought.
