If you're going to import a group with ten elements, you're going to want
prefix/suffix. It is madness to have to write:
use Math::Slow
add => { -as => "slow_add" },
mul => { -as => "slow_mul" },
div => { -as => "slow_div" },
mns => { -as => "slow_mns" },
mod => { -as => "slow_mod" };
instead of
use Math:Slow ':basics' => { -prefix => "slow_" };
Maybe sometimes you'll want a whole group, but to rename things one by one. In
this case, maybe:
use Math::Slow ':basics' => { -rename => { 'add' => 'slow_add' } };
What you seem to have suggested is:
use Math::Slow ':basics',
add => { -as => 'slow_add' };
...which, to me, is needlessly ambiguous. Does this give me two copies of
&add, one renamed and one not? If not, how do I get two copies if I want it?
Do I have to call import multiple times?
