I added method object since then, and forgot to >update the comparison. Thanks for the clarification, the Method class had slipped my my mind. I gather from the discussion and a glance at the documentation, but not the code, that Method behaves much like a class wrapping my reinvented tuple. But the documentation doesn't mention how one could, for example, get the Symbol for the method. Might be useful for testing equivalence, no? -= Josh
