        Unfortunately I don't have the time right now to go research this
        directly, so I'll pick your brains instead... <kof>
        
        As I read this, it would only actually affect the parsing context when
        a verb was hit which had multiple possible resolutions. No?
        
        AFIAR ColdX uses the following parse order:
        
        character
        inventory
        room
        local objects (inventory of room)
        
        Do they make this decision of ambiguity (and resultant scan of the
        context dictionary) at each level of the tree, or only once the full
        tree has been traversed?
        
        What are the rules for defining and manipulating the context
        dictionary?
        
        >A key OO concept is blurred here. The distinction between class and
        >object instance. In Cold this has led to the $frob and what I would
        >call the prototype object or more properly the class descriptor
        >object.
        
        I've never liked ColdX's frob concept. It seems a real hack in an
        attempt to reverse bolt-on a coupound type.
        
        Yup, AlexO and I argued about this class/instance difference point for
        a long time back in the original CC: list. At that time I was talking
        the stance that there was no real need for a distinction between class
        objects and instances. Since then I've reversed -- mostly due to the
        fact that without the distinction management of state between classes,
        instances, and new instances can be a big problem.
        
        >For example there exists a $connection object which
        >contains all the methods and attributes necessary for handling a
        >socket connection. When a new connection is made a new object is
        >created that inherits $connection instead of an instance of
        >$connection. Instancing is can only be done through inheritance.
        
        This has some advantages in providing runtime morphism. The problem
        is see with ColdX is that they have taken this one idea and turned it
        into a hobby horse with which to solve all problems. There are some
        definite elegancies with instancing via inheritance, but there are
        also some big uglies.
        
        >The
        >inheritance tree depth can easily double and since methods can be
        >protected, private or public the "instanced" object is not
        >neccessarily like the object that spawned it (and attribute variables
        >also since the last release)
        
        Yup, this is a mess. I took one stab at introducing
        public/protected/private methods and inheritance and ran away
        screaming at the repercussions. I still have public and private
        methods, but that only affects their visability to external messages,
        not inheritance.
        
        >Now all of this is not necessarily a bad thing, but it does require a
        >significantly different approach to implementing an OO design than
        >other OOP languages.
        
        Agreed. I'm pretty solidly in the Cold camp at this point for the
        inheritance/class/instance design except tht I have formally seperated
        classes and instaces. The rest I'm still exmaining.
