C++ and C# are converging with implicitly typed languages to the extent that many declarations will be able to omit types. In the next C++ standard and in C# 3.0 it may be possible to write, where Fn is a function returning any particular type:
auto spam = Fn(); // C++0x var spam = Fn(); // C# 3.0 http://www.research.att.com/~bs/rules.pdf http://msdn.microsoft.com/vcsharp/future/ (most useful is the C# 3.0 language spec Word document) Neil -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
