Single Class Rexx for all the functionalities *considered harmful* ;-)

ThSITC
Following Massa Dijkstra,

may I point you at one (the only one) bad concept in Rexx, and therefore
NetRexx as well:

1) A String is a String is a String (tautology) ;-)
2.) A WordList is a WordList is a WordList (detto)
3.) A (Rexx) Stem is a Stem is a Stem (detto)

Thus, the associated *builtin* functions (methods nowadays) *should*, and
*have to* be re-arranged by the proper *CONCEPTS*, calles CLASSES
nowadays.

Otherwise, having oly Rexx (in NetRexx) as the MASTER Class, we are (again)
misleading the underlying CONCEPTS (maybe??)

Massa Thomas,

from dark Vienna. Austria. Europe.

I.E:

Those BUILTIN methods (formerly Funcions) need to be arranged in a
cocise CLASS Hierarchy, IMHO <grin>, as Mark always does say <END grin>

Tom.
