looking past the "->". > This seems an opportune moment to request feedback on a potential extension to this extension. Postfix dereference syntax gives us skinny arrow chains that do not end with methods yet can yield lists. Currently, according to my tests, a skinny arrow puts its LHS in scalar context, meaning that commas in parentheses turn into "comma operators" and array expressions are evaluated as their element count, when in that position. Basically, skinny arrows aren't much use after lists or arrays. I would like to suggest for discussion, the idea of having skinny arrows after arrays map the RHS over their LHS.Thread Previous | Thread Next
