i am interested, if there is a method (for a PMC), that is automagically
called, whenever a called method is not existent.
called, whenever a called method is not existent.
i am sure, you have already thought about this, as this is a common feature
of many dynamic languages.
any pointer appreciated.
thx,

If you are speaking of objects, there will be such a feature.

There is delegates.pmc ("Delegate each and every function to parrot
bytecode") but its not integrated yet.
