What I am really looking for is a way

        - to be able to call move(up)
        - having the "up" symbol only in the context of the function call

Short answer is, you can't do it.

On the contrary, it's not difficult to do.

I provided an example in my answer to the OP (first reply in the thread).

However, it's IMHO an abuse of the language, not something that one should do.


Cheers & hth.,
