Yes, it would be convient, but I've yet to see a non-contrived example where it's actually necessary, and which can't be implemented trivially with other Perl 6 tools. The series code is already rather complex (and thus slow), and having to add introspection to find out whether the production code object accepts a named parameter 'i' is not going to help in any way. IMHO we are in the "what can we add?" phase, while we should be in the "what can we take away?" design phase. Cheers, MoritzThread Previous | Thread Next
