title:
"proposal for passing refinements"
comment: {
hi all,
i suggest following syntax:
[ a-func/opt/:bool 123 ]
where opt and its arguments are passed if 'bool is true.
a sample implementation is presented here, which may be used
in the way
[do refined[ a-func/opt/:bool 123 ]]
note this handles passing arguments ..
an inbuild syntax would be preferable..
also i suggest using
[ a-func/'opt 123 ]
if 'opt and 'bool are the same name.
not implemented yet.
would be nice if you test a bit more, baby is 1:30 old yet :)
