Well, we had
lazyEval x == (rst(x):(()-> %)) ()
':' was doing what you apparently think that 'pretend' would do.
':' is gone, IIRC 'pretend' failed, so that is why we have SPADCALL...
Oh, we had this? But honestly, I am happy that ':' is gone. When I read
the above line, I wouldn't understand it as I understand 'pretend'.
'pretend' for me is no operation, just telling the compiler that it show
override the type with what 'pretend' says.
Maybe internally it works differently, but the above is my layman's view.
BTW, I would have no problem if a 'pretend' crashes the system.
'pretend' is claiming that the user knows enough about the compiler to
make the claim of a potentially unsafe type cast.
Maybe like Lisp calls, 'pretend' should only appear in what you called
"primitive domains'.
