There won't be an update this weekend. I'm reworking the object system a 
bit, the new syntax will look something like:

OBJECT_KIND OBJECT_NAME = OBJECT_PROTOTYPE.clone()|
                          OBJECT_PROTOTYPE.derive()|
                          load(FILENAME)
[{OBJECT_BLOCK}];

If OBJECT_KIND is something other than "object", only objects that are 
derived from, clones of, or delegate an object based on OBJECT_KIND are 
accepted. For example, if OBJECT_KIND is "stream", only objects that can 
be used as streams will be accepted. Since all objects are based on 
"object", using "object" will simply turn this checking off.

I've also made some changes to delegates and the "self" identifier, I'm 
still working on this.

I've also added a "reference" operator that will make an identifier 
refer to another variable. Currently the operator is ":=:". I'm debating 
whether or not to add a reference type...
