Beautiful, Doug. You repeatedly say that my compose() doesn't nest, you post some sort of final challenge, you accuse me of evasion, I repost the articles in question, and now you try to escape humiliation by perverting the issue into whether compose() can be polymorphic in C. That last bit is evasion, Douglas. Sorry, but it won't work. The issue back then was function composition, NOT dynamic typing. You repeatedly shot from the hip on the issue of whether the available implementations of compose() in C could nest. Now I've called you on it, I've quoted articles where you made a fool of yourself, and you won't be able to pretend that you were saying something else. In this last article, you claim that my reposted compose() routine was in response to your points about dynamic typing. That claim is a lie. Since you're obviously so desperate to avoid embarassment, I can understand your perversions; that doesn't make them the truth. You also seem to be confusing dynamic typing with various other issues, including function allocation. I invite you to learn Forth. ---Dan
