You're already sort of done this. ;-)

(See my second message yesterday "operator overloading broken in 
1.9.6?", so *this* question is answered in some way). Don't get me

inside a for-loop now, but ...

... personally I don't like this part of the idea. There was a reason, I 
used those "loop"-records. Ok, I'll shut up for now and change the 
code.
