Hi
There's precedent in ext/random with the Randomizer::getFloat() method
that takes a Random\IntervalBoundary enum to decide on the the
interpretation of the boundary values. Translated to `clamp()` this
could mean:
If it weren't living in the Random extension, that very Enum could have
been used.
Indeed. Back when introducing the enum, we actually had a discussion
about naming and “placement”. In the end, we opted to make it
ext/random-specific as a more conservative choice. I think back then it
was the first native enum.
See https://externals.io/message/118810#118910 and
https://chat.stackoverflow.com/transcript/11?m=55444127#55444127.
If a new general-purpose IntervalBoundary enum is introduced, I'm happy
to widen the type in ext/random from `\Random\IntervalBoundary` to
`\IntervalBoundary|\Random\IntervalBoundary` (and deprecate the latter
in one of the following versions).
Best regards
Tim Düsterhus
