Agree. For now we seem to have two points we agree on: * We want to document these functions * We want to give them better names * We want the old behavior to work As long as the second clause does not break the third, I think we should seek to move forward. Yves mentioned that "Internals" namespace to be undesired place for it (which was discussed at P5H, the last core hackathon) and I agree. "scalar" was the most popular one, IIRC. Does anyone have any comments on this? Tony, Dave, Zefram? *Karl*? :) Thanks!Thread Previous | Thread Next
