Sorry for the double post--

Do bar and baz have any meaning outside of the context of foo? Do they have any
value that you can check?

If you have another object, moo, that doesn't have bar or baz in it's definition
(but does have something in that placeholder) does moo.bar or moo.baz have any
meaning?

Last question--are foo.bar and foo[bar] interchangeable?
