How to create a function that returns nothing

2003-10-14 Thread Joe Gottman
How do you declare a function that doesn't return anything? For instance, a C++ swap function might be declared template class X void swap(X x, X y); It would be nice to declare the corresponding Perl6 function as sub swap ($x is rw, $y is rw) returns nothing {...} or something similar.
