[REBOL] of

From: antonr::lexicon::net at: 9-Nov-2004 18:30

I just was thinking of a nice little function, OF: of: func [ "does code in the context of the object" obj [object!] code [block!] ][ do bind code in obj 'self obj ] Example: These are equivalent 1) face/data: 3 face/text: "hello" face/edge/size: 3x3 2) of face [data: 3 text: "hello" edge/size: 3x3] For the function name, I decided to avoid the word, familiar to VB programmers, "WITH", because it might get confusing used in (or near) the layout dialect, and it's nice and short. Another possible name is "DO-IN", but the longer the word is the less chance it will actually save any keystrokes.. :) I wonder if anyone else made such a function or a similar one ? Anton.
