People have many existing source codes such as the following ones.
package MyClass;
sub new {
...
}
# Many accessors
sub my_accessor1 {
# ...
}
sub my_accessor2 {
# ...
}
sub my_accessorN {
# ...
}
Suppose he wants to use the method keyword. He will rewrite the following
codes.
class MyClass {
method new : common {
...
}
# Many accessors
method my_accessor1 {
# ...
}
method my_accessor2 {
# ...
}
method my_accessorN {
# ...
}
In the currently planned implementation this will not work because of the
redefine of the new method.
