I think it would be a good feature to have anyway for compatibility,
but I would not rate the priority as high as the other items on the

We can revive that discussion now, but it might make more sense to
wait until my symbol table changes for objects and private functions
are at least checked in to a CVS branch.  I'm making progress on that
