Hi,
What's the current meaning of type annotations on type-variables?
For example, if I say...
my Foo ::x;
...which of these does it mean?
a) ::x (<=) ::Foo (i.e. any type assigned to x must be covariant wrt. Foo)
b) ::x is an object of type Foo, where Foo.does(Class)
c) Something else?
I seem to recall Damian suggesting (a) in order to solve the "what's
the invocant type of a class method" problem[1], but I wasn't sure
whether it was already canon.
Also, can I do crazy stuff like this?
my $a = ::Foo;
my ::$a $obj; # analogous to @$x, where $x is an arrayref
Thanks,
Stuart
