I always think of "read only" as meaning "a read only VIEW". Examples abound: e.g. opening a file in read-only mode. Even the read-only attribute of a file (which you can change).<br><br>Still - another keyword you might consider appropriate to the meaning "read only view" is "in". Now there's a thought;
<br><br>Oh - and here's something else I'd like to be able to do. Instead of:<br><br> class C<br> {<br> private int my_n;<br> public int n() { return my_n; }<br> <br> /* all my private code refers to my_n */
<br> }<br><br>I'd like to be able to do<br><br> class C<br> {<br> (privately read-write but publicly read-only) int n;<br> <br> /* all my private code refers to n */<br> }<br> <br>That would be cool.<br>Thanks
