Overriding if() and being *able* to override if() are two different things. Anyone who overrides if() is probably asking for trouble. But it would be nice to override length() and vec(). Where do we draw the line? Or, rather, why do we need to draw a line? Instead of debating over every keyword about whether it should be overridable, letâs just make them all overridable, allowing smarter people to do things we havenât thought of. I only brought up if() in particular because it can have elsif attached to it, and we need to figure out how things are going to fit together. -- Father Chrysostomos --- via perlbug: queue: perl5 status: open https://rt.perl.org:443/rt3/Ticket/Display.html?id=108286Thread Previous | Thread Next
