Rehashing NEW keyword a SECOND time, right NOW...

The Set statement didn't help telling the reference and the default property
apart if your default property was of a reference type, i.g.:

' VB6 Class Test
Public Another As Test ' default

' somewhere else
Dim t As Test: Set t = New Test
Dim x As Test
Set x = t ' should assign t (not sure)
Set x = t.Another ' assigns t.Another

Would it be fair to say that in your personal program,

sFindings = cThingsTo*****About.rehash

and

sSilence = cThings IWas WrongAbout.discovered

?

What are you babbling about? Did Microsoft suddenly rediscover the XADD
instruction and their own Win32 API wrappers for it and reintroduce DF?

Date isn't a function or array, so I don't see why he put a paren between it
and Now.

In a nutshell, it would more often appear this way

Dim Interval As DateInterval
Dim StartTime As Date

Interval = DateInterval.Second
StartTime = Date.Now


And look how easily the New keyword was dropped from that statement!
My question was, could it be possible to drop New from all the other places it is used too?

A lot of people say it has to be there, and I think the language would be much 'simpler'
if we access all the 'objects' the same way....
