in our little town Kmart means a miser... rather an peculiar understanding hence:o), But 2 say the least, this is a little FLUFFY:o)

I am trying to convey that things are not what they seem but can appreciate what you are saying and will dwell on it. If it was someone who hadn't a clue i wouldn't bother - but i respect you so will.

nah, not as a user. But yea a month or so back i found myself in here... Y, did i do something wrong:o),

Kiev(x) := Pulped x, surrounded by breadcrumbs, and if x = chicken, containing some white sauce that they put in the middle. Kiev() is not overloaded, as 'Kiev' is not a function, it is a pointer to a city in eastern Europe. The language describing the universe has separate namespaces for functions and variables. As for your concern about whether it should be a sausage Kiev or, perhaps, a Pork Kiev, ask yourself this: Is a chicken or part thereof actually pulped in the manufacture of a chicken Kiev?

As fine as this piece of argument is, I'm afraid I must post the following refutation. The underlying assumption made by -=Dark_Angel=- is that an X Kiev is 'an outer shell, consisting of pulped X, coated in breadcrumbs, surrounding some Y'. This argument, however, is false. Y is not specifically declared, and thus must be global. All references to Kiev must therefore use the same Y. A sausage Kiev, therefore, is and outer shell consisting of pulped sausage (surely simply sausage meat - another logical slip perhaps; Is a sausage or part thereof actually pulped?) coated in breadcrumbs surrounding some white sauce that they put in the middle. This is quite different to a scotch egg. It is worth noting that when Kiev is instantiated with no argument the default output is a city in Eastern Europe that is neither pulped nor surrounded by breadcrumbs, thus Kiev is overloaded and the implicit assumption that a Sausage Kiev would be similar to a Chicken Kiev is questionable. Sausage Kiev may well be a city surrounded by pulped sausage. This area would benefit from further research.
