<masak> TimToady: I think macros should be powerful enough to define
classes with parameterized names. do you agree? how will we do that?
<jnthn> r: constant foo = "lolclass"; class ::(foo) { }; say lolclass
<p6eval> rakudo 34e8d4:
OUTPUT«===SORRY!===␤multi_dispatch_over_lexical_candidates was unable
to find a candidate list␤»
<jnthn> o.O
<jnthn> star: constant foo = "lolclass"; class ::(foo) { }; say lolclass
<p6eval> star 2012.07: OUTPUT«Capture[0xa7c9890]()␤»
<jnthn> Hmm.
<jnthn> That should work.
* jnthn leaves masak to do the honors
<moritz> that... should work? really?
<jnthn> moritz: Did work at one point, even, iirc.
<moritz> I don't remember even seeing that working
* masak submits rakudobug
