You've got me. <s> You can ask on the Boo Google Group: Rodrigo and a couple of other smart cookies seem to have the answers for most everything. One of the others is Oren Einei (sp?), who writes as Ayende: RhinoBus, RhinoQueues, and on and on -- he has an article in the current MSDN magazine (available online) on using Bus and Queues to build a smartclient application using nHibernate. Very cool stuff.

>>The reason that the o,e are passed is that the def is of an unnamed function that is the eventhandler method. In C#, if you type in the line you did, the IDE (in VS2010) will complain that the function you named is not available. You then have to define that method.

If I can cut out half the typing I do (and I don't think it will be that much, probably more like 20-30%) over the next 15 years of my working career, I would like that. This is all individual, of course; I have a couple of friends who type code out at 90+ words per minute. For myself (I'm sure this is not universal), having fewer superfluous words means I can focus on the meat of what is being done. à chacun son goût, as they say.
