Using the notion of current
Long Time Ago, there was a system called PCE that could not
handle multiple arguments to methods and had little flexibility in code
objects. With those restrictions, the notion of current
(cell, dialog_item, menu_item, ...) has been introduced to avoid the
need for multiple arguments.
The use of this notion is dubious: mutual recursive procedures both
using this technique will not behave properly. Also, the current is not
really a describing attribute of the object. The methods -being present
for so long- have been retained in this version, but please avoid using
them.
