Henri Biestro commented on JEXL-372:
------------------------------------
The JS like behaviour, I'll commit that momentarily. Thanks for the hint.
Whether overloaded selfAdd/selfSubtract should be automagically used (or
add/subtract for that matter) is an interesting question. There are
counter-example for structures that do support selfAdd()/add() (any collection
for instance) where increment() as add(+1) won't make sense, so it can't be a
general rule.
I also considered the added complexity for properly solving the different cases
(find/solve add or selfAdd overload, etc) when it only takes one Java overload
- probably a one liner on top of the other overloaded methods- if you need it
feels almost like over-engineering (so to speak).
