The problem (of course) is that the read (RW) handler creates a temp container for the property value. As a consequence the changed value needs to be written back using the write handler. To accomplish that we have two options: a) Chnage the signature of the read handler so it returns whether ot not the prop is a virtual prop and use write after the change if so. b) Somehow identify the situation and print out a E_ERROR. Isn't that what Stas's proxy object system was supposed to solve? I've been trying to get an answer as to whether it works or not for a while now.

Yes, it works, the 'problem' is that it's really very very simple. 99% of the work is upto the implementor of the particular proxy object... It just gives you a very general framework. Zeev
