All methods can be address dynamically – providing the signature aligns:

define mytype => type {
data
public test1 = 'not set',
public test2 = 'not set'

public oncreate => {
local(v = 'Some value')
with i in array('test1','test2') do {

#i = tag(#i+'=')
self->\#i(#v)
}

}
}

mytype->test1 // Some value
mytype->test2 // Some value

The approach is somewhat different compared to older versions. Essentially
your invoking the tag within the context of self. You also need to append as part of the tag and provide the parameter to set within the invoke() –
the above does essential this:

self->test1 = #v

Given the abstract nature nature of the above, it'd probably be best to
wait for Kyle to confirm its validity...
