I can't remember who mentioned it initially, but I kinda prefer two colons "::" to one ":", since it mirrors FPIs' namespace delimiter. Also, it's more unique (and hence explicit) than a single colon. Either way, agreed: a neat idea. Murray ...........................................................................
