[ast-users] ${ f; } + .sh.value

[Dan Douglas]

This is cool! Will it eventually be possible to make it type-aware, or to 
allow passing references? Or is it just fundamentally only usable with 
strings?

#!/usr/bin/env ksh

typeset -T Test_t=(
    typeset attr=success!
)

function f {
    case $1 in
        0) 
            compound myTests=(
                typeset x=${ f 1; }
                typeset y
            )

            f 2 myTests.y 
            print -r "x: ${myTests.x.attr-fail :(}"
            print -r "y: ${myTests.y.attr-fail :(}"
            ;;
        1)
            # Try returning an object through .sh.value
            Test_t .sh.value
            ;;
        2)
            # The usual method by reference.
            nameref x=$2
            Test_t x
    esac
}

# x: fail :(
# y: success!
f 0
