Code injects — collections are getting closer

I see a scary pattern lately. I add new feature to Skila pretty quickly, but when it comes to cleaning the code (sadly, it is messy) I can spend a day on refactoring, polishing, removing dead pieces, and at the end it appears that I cleaned away one thing too many and I have no clue how to fix it while moving forward — so instead I have to rewind the changes, I make half of them again with commit on each step, and then I am too tired to make the second half, so I call it a day (the second one). The weekend just passes and I don’t know when…

I am working on at least one collection to introduce variadic functions in Skila, and this is the time when Skila and target language have to meet in the same code:

class Array<T>
	<?php
	public $data;
	?>

	func construct(size Int) do
		@ = size;
		<?php
		$this->data = array();
		?>
	end  
end

So far I didn’t solved the name matching problem, I rely on common sense of Skila translator, but I am too eager to finally see Skila programs working.
