I proposed this in 2008: http://markmail.org/message/3wwf7pra3whfks5n Later, I produced a shambling implementation: http://rjbs.manxome.org/rubric/entry/1739 http://advent.rjbs.manxome.org/2010/2010-12-24.html It was very exciting, to me, to have things half-working, but the second 90% was problematic. Florian's anonymous stashes were useful, but wouldn't survive threaded builds, and the idea of building it all with magic on the stashes was grody, to put it lightly. To what extent does this sort of thing prefigure Stevan Little work on p5-mop? While I'd love to have this feature, we wouldn't want the two to play against one another. -- rjbsThread Previous | Thread Next
