This goes back to the notion that lowercase basic types (int, : str, bool) are "storage efficient" and therefore cannot contain values : outside the domain, like C<undef>. : : I've argued in the past that it should be possible to put undef into : lctypes, to no avail. So, since no "special" values can go into : lctypes, I presume this applies to Yadda as well -- trying to stuff a : Yadda object into an lctype will result in a compile time (BEGIN time, : more probably) failure.
But the stuffing is not happening at compile time. Assignment happens at run time. Larry
