[jira] Commented: (BOO-500) self(index) instead of [DefaultMember(Item)] Item(index)

    [ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/BOO-500?page=comments#action_47467 ] 

Rodrigo B. de Oliveira commented on BOO-500:
--------------------------------------------

How about an attribute that does the System.Reflection.DefaultMember thing for 
you?

class Alpha:
     [default] Item(index):
           get:
               return DoSometing(index)

No special syntax and semantics needed.

> currently to access an object like an array, you have to do this:
> [DefaultMember("Item")]
> class Alpha:
>     Item(index):
>         return DoSomething(index)
> Alpha()['bravo']
> It would make a lot more sense to do
> class Alpha:
>     self(index):
>         return DoSomething(index)
> Alpha()['bravo']
