Thanks Matthew, but as I said "I'm poking data straight into an objects
private areas", as I'd already written;

if (!(defined $pgn->comments)){
my %empty;
$pgn->{GameComments}=\%empty;
... }

Which I think was fine because a hash array happens to be the default
type expected for the polymorphic chess game object, apart from breaking
information hiding<oops>.

I finally explained what I wanted to Giuseppe, and he added an
"add_comment" method to Parse.pm version 16, so no need to break any OO
rules just as soon as CPAN catches up.
