What would be really nice is a way of hiding USING by making a sort of typed
VALUE ...
I thought I might try to create that, calling it a HOLDER, but it seems too
hard to do myself.
Example:

[code]

Class Foo
...
End-Class

Foo Holder Bar

: def
   FOO NEW TO BAR
   BAR member @ BAR member ! ;

[/code]

Now BAR would behave like a typed VALUE in that we can store an address into
it with TO, but when called it acts like an object of type FOO. Much better
than constantly calling USING or using slow CALLING/->

What does everyone think?
