Re: RPG overloading (was RPGV?)

And while Barbara is implementing that feature perhaps she could add  
the "always" option that I've been asking for for years <grin>.

What I mean by this is a form of CONST that _always_ takes a copy and  
passes that. Right now it only produces a copy if there is a mismatch  
between the parm passed and that expected. I'd like to be able to  
guarantee that my data doesn't get changed no matter what happens in  
the called routine.
