I thought from was effectively typeless (as it's operating against a List it can't always know the type of the members anyway) and so it allows any type on teh left - giving a runtime class cast exception if it can't do the conversion. Therefore if you know they type you are expecting you can still use it on the LHS with whatever constraints you want?

Using Comparable for the arguments of the min and max accumulate functions will give you a result that is -- Comparable. So: $min: Comparable() from accumulate( Schedule( $d: date ), min( $d ) ) OK, this will give you the minimum data, bound to $min, although it won't let you write any constraint for the "Comparable" result fact. But, what's worse, it will not let you write $min: Number( intValue > 100 ) from accumulate( X( $y: y ), min( $y ) ) any more (unless I'm very much mistaken). -W On 25 March 2011 03:56, Greg Barton <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: Well, if it can work that way it should. I'd say open a JIRA and request that feature.
