Since we were in violent agreement over this at YAPC, it's probably unsurprising that the example use case you gave is exactly what I have in mind and why I want this feature in the core and syntax doesn't matter to me at all. Just saying this in case anybody thinks you're alone in your train of thought. :) As a matter of fact, it's one of those cases where in terms of syntax, if we provide hooks to XS modules, people can experiment on CPAN with all the crazy Devel::Declare they like until we eventually converge on a best of breed. Or not. We'll see. Cheers, SteffenThread Previous | Thread Next
