H. S. Teoh:
This may not be practical if your codebase is production, and
relies on
the compiler being (relatively) stable. Sometimes things break
in a
major way on git HEAD in between releases and get fixed later,
so you
might end up spending unnecessary effort to make your code
compile every
few git revisions.
I stopped updating my code only at compiler releases because
fixing hundreds of things at the same time (of many different
kinds) was too much hard for me.
You don't need to refer to
the type of the element in order to get its .init value.
Right.
So, is it possible and a good idea to fix AA.get so the natural
code "get(0, [])" works?
