Multi-level key names. > The third is the easiest, it's: > > .param pmc a :invocant(['Foo'; 'Bar']) Okay; it just bugs me a bit when I see "string parameter" in a description instead of "multi-level key name" because there are likely to be a lot of classes that aren't representable as simple string names. :-) > (Which works much better here than in :multi.)
