Hi all,
calling a small, curated set of methods directly on scalar values, e.g.
$str->trim(), (3)->pow(2). There's a complete, tested implementation and
a full write-up (links below); I'd like to surface the strongest
objections before I write the formal RFC.
Larry Garfield has noted that when PFA lands, one would be able to write
$s|>trim(?)
One already has
$s|>trim(...)
but the ? syntax would allow
$sep|>explode(?, $str)
or
$str|>explode($sep, ?)
whichever seems more appropriate at the time.
Probably not helpful for pre-existing functions (just say explode($sep,
$string) already), but user functions might be more readable when
pronounced this way..
