[snip] This feature came about (along with Larry's generalization to include 's) in response to a question I posed back around 2008 (IIRC) about the feasibility of a P6 module to allow hyphens in identifiers. (BTW, I frequently mix hyphens with underscores to make space-free file names with hyphenated dates, hyphenated words, and so on. But I wouldn't want hyphens and underscores treated as equivalent, just as I wouldn't want upper and lowercase letters treated as equivalent. Then again, use strict; is my friend, so I don't anticipate non-trivial problems with such sorts non-equivalences. YMMV.) Here is a reply of mine to an old thread on this topic; others have independently expressed somewhat similar sentiments. === [Sun 4/11/2010 12:45 AM] From: Mark J. Reed [mailto:markjr...@gmail.com] [...] Perl borrows vocabulary almost exclusively from English, but it is not English, and its conventions are not those of English. (And the conventions around hyphens that people are citing are quite specifically those of standard written English; other writing systems, even those using the same alphabet and mostly the same punctuation, have different rules). Consider s/English/Linux/ for example. :-) One consideration leading up to allowing - in P6 identifiers (initially in the context of an optional syntax-tweaking module) involved compatibility with fairly common usage in {directory and file} names (where spaces are avoided for cross-platform reasons). I've always thought {Lisp variable names and Unix/Linux file names} with hyphens (versus underscores) were {more readable and substantially easier to type (during long typing sessions)}. http://groups.google.com/group/perl.perl6.language/browse_thread/thread/1625 baa7eead0d71/ http://groups.google.com/group/perl.perl6.compiler/browse_thread/thread/e6cc 5dc9360ada36/c59f2fb1f49b80f5?lnk=gstq=r28689#c59f2fb1f49b80f5 I would personally like to see hyphens used as the standard word separator, with underscores available for exceptions - say, naming a Perl interface method exactly the same as the underlying C function it provides access to.

Re: [perl6/specs] a7cfe0: [S32] backtraces overhaul
S19 uses hyphens for all of perl6's long-form command-line flags. Command-line flags and methods are separate sets. Hyphens would be the norm for flags. In S28, we find $*EXECUTABLE_NAME and %*META-ARGS listed within 10 lines of each other. S32-setting-library_IO.pod and S32-setting-library_Numeric.pod each have public multi-word method names with hyphens. In both cases, hyphens are linking qualifying adjectives to nouns, while hyphens separate distinct words. One could argue that is not inconsistent. On 8/23/11, Patrick R.

Re: [perl6/specs] a7cfe0: [S32] backtraces overhaul
That kind of consistency is not much better than inconsistency in terms of usability, IMO. I'd much prefer a purely lexical convention that doesn't rely on how you assign parts of speech or define a single word that has a hyphen in it. Given that we allow hyphens in identifiers, I'd personally like to see them used everywhere, for all identifiers defined at the p6 level. Lower-level names that are just called from p6 are of course another matter. I could also see substituting underscores for hypens in all-caps names for ease of typing (at least, that'd be easier on US keyboards).

I oppose this. Underscores and hyphens should remain distinct. That would seem to be the most human-friendly approach. I disagree. More human friendly is if it looks different in any way then it is different. (I am not also saying that same-looking things are equal, given Unicode's redundancy.) If you're going to treat hyphens and underscores in identifiers as being equal then you should make them case-insensitive too, because its the same kind of lack of distinction. I think that a better change, if we're going to change something, is to make hyphens illegal in bareword identifiers, just allowing them in quoted ones. Then we also gain consistency that if something looks symbolic then its an operator, not a question of whether we have a minus operator or not. If one points to XML as an example of working hyphens in bareword identifiers, I should point out that those are typically in a -quoted context, and we also don't see symbolic bareword operators in the same place. Apples and oranges. -- Darren Duncan

More human friendly is if it looks different in any way then it is different. (I am not also saying that same-looking things are equal, given Unicode's redundancy.) Your mentioning of Unicode is poignant. In Unicode properties, you are not supposed to have to worry about these things.For example, from UTS#18: Note: Because it is recommended that the property syntax be lenient as to spaces, casing, hyphens and underbars, any of the following should be equivalent: \p{Lu}, \p{lu}, \p{uppercase letter}, \p{uppercase letter}, \p{Uppercase_Letter}, and \p{uppercaseletter} Simillarly, since this applies to property names as well as to property values, these are all the same: \p{GC =Lu} \p{gc =Lu} \p{General Category=Lu} \p{General_Category=Lu} \p{general_category=Lu} \p{general-category=Lu} \p{GENERAL-CATEGORY=Lu} \p{generalcategory =Lu} \p{GENERALCATEGORY =Lu} I'll let you permute the RHS on your own. :) However, I use the opposite of that sort of loose matching of identifiers in my own code. For example, when I make a named character alias, I always use lowercase so that it looks different from an official one. use charnames :full, :alias = { e_acute = LATIN SMALL LETTER E WITH ACUTE, ae = LATIN SMALL LETTER AE, smcap_ae= LATIN LETTER SMALL CAPITAL AE, # this is a lowercase letter AE = LATIN CAPTIAL LETTER AE, oe = LATIN SMALL LIGATURE OE, smcap_oe= LATIN LETTER SMALL CAPITAL OE, # this is a lowercase letter OE = LATIN CAPITAL LIGATURE OE, }; I don't make E_ACUTE and eacute also work there. However, there is a new :loose that does do that, but I suspect I shan't use it, since I use both ae and AE differently in existing code. --tom

It's a trivial point, but why hidden_from_backtrace instead of hidden-from-backtrace? Especially given that the associated method is is-hidden, not is_hidden?

S32-setting-library_IO.pod and S32-setting-library_Numeric.pod each have public multi-word method names with hyphens. And both also list other identifiers that use underscores. I'm not sure I'm seeing the pattern, though. Apart perhaps from older parts of the spec use underscores, newer parts use hyphens. And I'd like there to be a more consistent approach than that (though I don't really care what it actually is). Damian
