ok....that's the way the bosses want it

how about 

	forward optNewMethodName => obj/object handle


as in:

class two
{
    on YepDoIt: Integer i, Real r
    {
	print(stdout, i * r);
    }

    on considerit: Boolean really, Integer i
	{
		if (random_number() > .5)
			print(stdout, i);
	}
} slave;

class one
{
    on doit: Integer i, Real r
	{
	    forward 'YepDoIt => slave;
	}

    on considerit: Boolean really, Integer i
	{
	    if (really)
		forward => disobedient_slave;
	}
}

ie: only need the new method name if want to change handler name


multiple assignments for arrays are gone...long live multiple assignments for
arrays!!! (in new guise as list2array())

declarations only start of scope?  syntactically or semantically?


(i cant complain about stream of consciousness style!)
