And another question. How will I make Perl6 not do automatic coercion for
me. If I have this sub:
sub date (Int +$year is required, +$month, +$day)
BTW, Pugs supports the ++ syntax, which iirc is said to be back in favour
during the Oscon design meeting:
sub date (Int ++$year, +$month, +$day)
Uh, great, what's the syntax mean again?
It _looks_ like "+" as a prefix now means "must be passed as a name param"
and "++" means must be passed as a named param and is required. Seems
good to me.
You will probably get:
1. a compile time warning of unsafe coercion, possibly made fatal.
and
2. a NaN at runtime if you ignore the warning.
Excellent. And presumably #1 will be activated by some lexically scoped
pragma like "use strict 'types'"?
Hurry up and finish. I want to use this language, darnit! And yes, I
know about pugs, obviously, but for production usage I need less of a
moving target ;)
