[Gambas-user] How do I override an Array class?

[Emil Lenngren]

 Even if most projects don't need more than depth 16, there might be some
very large projects (like Bruce's) that need it. Even well-designed
projects can have a large class tree.

And it is relatively easy to make that algorithm max depth-independent.
First see at what depth the current class is at, then declare a
variable-size array (directly on the stack, not with malloc) with the depth
as size, then fill it with all parents.
