Hi Chris,
Yes thank you for the pointer, been there, done that, have some
understanding.
Type extension, and procedure variables, are the basis of OOP.
I learn to use, though often surprised things are possible, unlike in
Modula-2.
Seeing some ETH Oberon modules, COPY() is quite frequently used,
where in Oberon-07, just `:=' assignment will do.
