= Standard Library Class Extension methods = The Cobra standard library adds the following extension methods to existing classes. This enables convenient expressions such as: {{{ #!cobra for item in someList.sorted.reversed print item for i, item in someList.sorted.numbered print i, item # i will be 0, 1, 2, ... }}} Here they are: {{{ #!cobra namespace Cobra.Lang extend System.Object def typeOf as System.Type """ Using .typeOf is portable between platforms in contrast to CLR .getType and JVM .getClass.
