I already wrote an idea of `no stringification` a while ago: https://metacpan.org/release/PEVANS/stringification-0.01_004 Having (a? another?) pragma to disallow reference->number conversions, and string<->number conversions might also be useful. I don't think theabove implementation is good though - to work nicely it really must be a core feature. This is one of those ideas that can be experimented with in a syntax way as a CPAN module, but actual implementation really does require core. -- Paul "LeoNerd" Evans leonerd@leonerd.org.uk | https://metacpan.org/author/PEVANS http://www.leonerd.org.uk/ | https://www.tindie.com/stores/leonerd/Thread Previous | Thread Next
