Re^3: what's a proper way to code method synonyms

[planetscape]

Erm... Won't that make for an absolute maintenance nightmare when someone has to go in and clean up code that someone else wrote using every possible variant of every possible method? Such a person might well hunt you down for this... (only half kidding)

HTH,

Actually .. This is kind of easy with vim.. at least a lot easier. Yes now that I think of it- if I had to use notepad to edit one of these modules with multiple synonyms.. I would quit my job.

I'm a fan of unix one liners that spinal tap multiple files. And of cvs.. so... can't mess up.

I was under the illusion that having synonyms makes it easier to use.. if not maintain.. Anyhow. After reading this thread I am turned off from the idea. And I am not going to use any synonims in modules again. Unless it's for... as merlyn said, legacy.
