<tt>I was wondering the same thing. What would be the impact on XOTcl's implementation if an object's location in Tcl's namespace hierachy was invariant, and user access to the object was always indirected through an alias? I would guess that it's not worthwhile just for "move" functionality, but would this guarantee make any other things possible, easier, or more efficient?</tt><br>
