Hmm... is there a way I can bypass this? Creatively, perhaps? My class 
is implementing some data validation functions, and needs to have a few 
instance variables to keep track of its internal state.

A few things are coming to mind - is there something I can do with a an 
inner class, a global dictionary, or something like that?

Thanks,
