Reading this thread has piqued my curiosity as to what people are
using arrays of objects for. I like to use IDL_containers instead, as
they simplify adding and removing objects while maintaining a logical
order that can be related to numerical array elements if you choose.
As JD points out you can easily subclass the container, modify the add
method so it gets picky as to what sort of objects it accepts, and
provide a DoMethod method to call the relevant method for all the
contained objects. Are there applications where doing it this way is
a bad idea (or impossible)?
