If you use the table as a "normal" table, you access it like:

   Retangle.getPos()

If you use it for OOP then you would access the function through an
object like:

   myRec.getPos()

In the first case returning `Rectangle.getPos' would be usefull, in the
second case just `getPos'.


I hope I don't get lost in this discussion. It's hard to distinguish
between "complete the tag" and "find the tag"...
