I like the look of it: Simple! Unfortunately I just get the second error 
message I mentioned in the original post: Unable to build somelib with 
properties because no best-match could be found.

Am I doing something wrong? The above syntax seems nicely intuitive. I 
believe I tried something along those lines way back before I cooked up 
the scheme I have been using. It didn't work, so I thought of the 
"double dispatch" thing, which *did* work.

Thanks anyway, Daniel. Other takers?
