Hi all, I have a PR open to add the "builtin" package and a few functions relating to booleans: https://github.com/Perl/perl5/pull/19232 This is a dual-purpose PR, which both finishes off RFC 0008, "Stable Booleans", and makes an initial start at RFC 0009, "Namespace for Builtin Functions" To keep the pace moving I'd like to merge this sometime by the end of the week / into the weekend. Various folks have reviewed it a bit, but given how far-reaching this becomes I'd appreciate a few more eyes on it. *Especially* the documentation - I know I'm not the best at writing "introduction-style" docs, so more people looking at that would be good. Once this is in I aim to add a bunch more functions (e.g. clear out the hacky Internals:: namespace, and borrow a few from Scalar::Util), and also have a go at some more efficient op-based implementation of them so they don't all have the ENTERSUB overhead. I mention them now just to dismiss any suggestions of doing those already. That can come later. -- Paul "LeoNerd" Evans leonerd@leonerd.org.uk | https://metacpan.org/author/PEVANS http://www.leonerd.org.uk/ | https://www.tindie.com/stores/leonerd/Thread Next
