Re: Discussion on global variables in IDL

["Pavel A. Romashkin" <pavel.romashkin(at)noaa.gov>]

Wishful thinking has its positive sides, but I fully agree with David -
changing IDL internals to act the way users may wish is very likely far
beyond real capability of RSI.
In their current state, objects in IDL are *very* useful, fairly easy to
write (once planned well) and allow to get your job done faster and
cleaner. And it is not too much pain at all to find simple and short
ways to write reuseable object code.
When you are fixing your car, you may want that wrench to be 2" longer,
but it isn't. So you take the one you've got and do your work.
Cheers,
