Apologies to Carl if I misinterpreted. I read it as:
"can hardly be blamed for (having) clarity"
;-)
No, yours is the correct interpretation, Damian. Though my sentence is
very open to misinterpretation, as it, too, can hardly be blamed for
clarity.
Furthermore, I agree that the solution worked out by this thread is
good enough not to warrant a separate index mechanism. To me, naming
the variables "$index" and "$value" makes the meaning perfectly clear.
for @array.kv -> $index, $value {...}
And if anyone still hates .kv's guts, and wants a magic index syntax,
that's probably perfect material for a Perl 6 module with some macro
goodness in it.
I gather that the below syntax should eventually work, too; right now
it doesn't in Pugs. But I guess I ought to brush up my Haskell and
contribute instead of complaining. :-)
map -> $index, $value { "$index, $value" } <== @array.kv

Having read this thread, I tend to think you're insane for bringing it
up again :-)
Why thank you sir. Well, one does one's best.
