This is a bug report for perl from smylers@stripey.com,
generated with the help of perlbug 1.41 running under perl 5.31.1.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The overload module has an internal function OverloadedStringify which
is useful but not documented or tested. So here are docs and tests.
The function is used by Moose, among other things:
https://grep.metacpan.org/search?q=OverloadedStringify
It used to be used internally (by Larry Wall, in the initial
implementation of overload in 4633a7c4, Perl 5.002 beta 1) but hasn't
been for 15 years. Maybe it could've been removed at that point, but it
wasn't, and removing it now would break things.
So documenting it and adding tests for it seems more sensible.
I wasn't entirely sure where the best place in overload.t was to add the
tests for overload::OverloadedStringify:
• Straight after the overload::Overloaded tests made sense, but some of
the tests after that are commented with what looks like their test
numbers (search for ‘# 225’ and ‘# 230’), so I thought it better not
to risk renumbering those.
But, glancing at the verbose test output, it seems that the test
commented # 230 is already test 234, so maybe that wouldn't've
mattered.
• At the end of the file would seem another obvious place for new tests,
but there's a test with the comment ‘KEEP THIS TEST LAST’, which I
didn't want to to disobey. So I added the new tests just above there.
However, there are several tests after the one with that comment, so
again maybe that wouldn't've mattered.
