$ perl6 -e 'multi a($a,:$enc,|c) { "enc" }; multi a($a,:$gzip!,|c) { "gzip" };
say a("foo",:gzip)’
enc
$ perl6 -e 'multi a($a,:$gzip!,|c) { "gzip" }; multi a($a,:$enc,|c) { "enc" };
say a("foo",:gzip)’
gzip
In both cases I would expect to see “gzip”. But apparently the order in which
the candidates occur is important, even though one would expect the required
named to be tighter?
Of course, on could order the candidates so that the required nameds are seen
first. However, that’s not an option if the first candidates are actually part
of the setting :-( Which makes it quite hard to actually add candidates with
extra nameds for builtins :-(
