Jon, the overloading issues were left to beta 2, this was already agreed upon. Its still a long way to a release (I'd guestimate 6-9 months). The beta is not at this point solid from an API perspective. But since you seem to think a lot needs fixing up - what would you like fixed up? What's not working for you atm? Marcus is, btw, not proposing new features, just completing the existing feature, integrated overloading. > > > > Any of the items that include the words "add" or "integrate" should be > > left for 5.1.

Things like a modified API for overloading, or clarifications in the type hint model are certainly valid for consideration in the beta process. There will of course be lots of bugfixing, but I don't think we should be overly strict at this point. -Sterling > > -- Good judgement comes from experience, and experience comes from bad judgement. - Fred Brooks
