Yes, your probably right---I don't have much experience using the prototype model. This is the way I expected it to work: > z <- 1 > p <- proto(expr={a <- z}) > p$a [1] 1 > p$z Error in get(x, env = this, inherits = inh) : variable "z" was not found Also it seems it would lead to fewer bugs if it worked that way. (Peter Danenberg mentions he's run into bugs because of this, and I can see why.) But as I mentioned I'm new to prototype programming. If it worked like in my snippet, would this lead to less effective prototype programming?
