Yes, that's exactly what I meant.

And that's exactly what I was struggling to.

Thank you very much. I tried all possibilities execept this way.
What I can't figured out is the end of the doc with :
The equal<%> interface is implemented with interface* and prop:equal
+hash.
I tought I had to implement the equal<%> interface myself.

Thanks again for the help.
