-------------------------------------------------------------
For now I have managed to overload operators + and - via JexlArithmetic to
support manipulation of Collection items, it's odd-looking a bit, but works.
Another case is =~ operator which is implemented inside Interpreter.java and
since can not be overloaded, but as I see it requires only three lines of code
to implement
// try contains on collection
if (right instanceof Collection<?>) {
if (left instanceof Collection<?>)
return ((Collection<?>) right).containsAll((Collection<?>)
left);
else
return ((Collection<?>) right).contains(left);
}
Can we include it in near future?

> Key: JEXL-151
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JEXL-151
> Project: Commons JEXL
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Affects Versions: 3.0
> Reporter: Dmitri Blinov
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: Later
>
>
> New operators to add or remove collection items to/from Collection. Operators
> can be named as += and -= respectively, or any other way. Operator += can be
> mapped to Collection.addAll(Collection c) if right argument is Collection or
> to Collection.add(Object o) otherwise. Operator -= can be mapped to
> Collection.removeAll(Collection c) if right argument is Collection or to
> Collection.remove(Object o) otherwise. Extend operators =~ (!~) to support
> CollectionA =~ CollectionB usage, in which case it should map to
> B.containsAll(A) operation.
