why not make opDot some compile time stuff?

class V
{
     opDot(char[] method, ...)
     {
         // runtime lib to figure what the method is, and then call it with  
vararg!
     }
}

this can be particular useful for COM

consider:

UnknownComponent.itsparticularMethod(34,"adf"); <-- bind every com  
component is troublesome and waste time.
The runtime can use typelib info to give us something useful

Also this can help DDL to be further more useful.

I don't need to bind my plugin.
I just directly call myplugin.mymethod("asdf");
The opdot will eventually resolve the mymethod in the plugin, then call it!
I will really enjoy to see this happen.
