Richard S. Hall commented on FELIX-1408:
----------------------------------------
I agree with Guillaume, it seems simpler to treat everything as separate
arguments and never expand. I suppose it could be possible to have some syntax
to explicitly expand non-scalars.
> [gogo] coercion of args to match varargs method is inconsistent
> ---------------------------------------------------------------

> Key: FELIX-1408
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FELIX-1408
> Project: Felix
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Gogo
> Reporter: Derek Baum
> Assignee: Derek Baum
> Priority: Minor
>
> gogo coerces the supplied arguments to match those required by the method.
> when the last parameter of a method is an array, gogo will coerce all
> remaining args into the array.
> For example:
> echo is defined as String echo(Object[] args);
> > echo d e f
> d e f
> above, gogo has coerced the 3 arguments into a single args[] array argument
> > list = [a b c]
> a
> b
> c
> > echo $list
> a b c
> here gogo passes the list directly, rather than as the first element of an
> array
> However, this is inconsistent when extra args are given:
> echo $list x
> x a b c
> The bug here is that the argument 'x' appears as the first, rather than the
> last argument to echo
> echo x $list
> x [a, b, c]
> The bug here is that the list is no longer expanded.
> The result should be:
> x a b c
