<masak> rakudo: sub foo(@a) { @a[1] = "NOES" }; my @a = <OH HAI>;
foo(@a); say ~...@a
<p6eval> rakudo 1eef08: OUTPUT«OH NOES»
<masak> is this supposed to be allowed?
<pmichaud> masak: I haven't seen a clear answer to that question.
<masak> pmichaud: ISTR there was some wording in the spec about the
readonlyness stretching 'one level down' into arrays/hashes, but I
can't find it now, despite trying.
<pmichaud> masak: From an implementation perspective, I see nothing
but pain in trying to make that happen.
<masak> pmichaud: anyway, this already fails:
<masak> rakudo: sub foo(@a) { @a[0, 1] = <OH NOES> }; my @a = 0, 1; foo(@a)
<p6eval> rakudo 1eef08: OUTPUT«Cannot assign to readonly value [...]
<masak> so something is inconsistent, at least.
