Not to put too fine a point on it, I consider that horrid !!

Presumably, struct must be of type MyStruct anyway for the above to
work? So, please, what is wrong with:

	struct = New(0, "Hello World" )
	struct = SomeMethod()

Obviously, if struct is not of type MyStruct, then you need the
"MyStruct." qualifier to identify the class, but given that it is, you
can leave it (and that "this" thing) out?
