[Xotcl] A question about parameter and default values.

I'm using ActiveState's 8.4 distribution on Windows XP, and am unable to explain the behaviour in the example below.

Shouldn't '-exact' be allowed as the default initializer for match? It seems to have something to do with the leading '-' since removing it seems to create the class Foo without issue.

Any help much appreciated.

thanks, -shishir

C:\Tools\Tcl\lib\xotcl1.5.3>tclsh % package require XOTcl 1.5.3 % namespace import xotcl::* % Class Foo -parameter {{match -exact}} during '::Foo parameter' % set errorInfo during '::Foo parameter' ::Foo ::xotcl::Object->configure ::xotcl::Class ::xotcl::Class->create ::xotcl::Class ::xotcl::Class->unknown invoked from within "Class Foo -parameter {{match -exact}}"

Changing -exact to exact, the error is resolved. % Class Foo -parameter {{match exact}} ::Foo
