Hi there,
for both convenience and considerably improved source readability and
robustness, I am considering an ASTT which would convert positional arguments
to named ones, i.e., something like
@Named foo(bar,int bax=666,List baz) {
... whatever ...
}
turned to something like
foo(Map __map=null) {
def bar=__map?.bar
int bax=__map?.bax==null?666:__map?.bax
List baz=__map?.baz
... whatever ...
}
In farther future with my own typechecking script it might even allow to
typecheck named arguments, though that might prove a bit at the difficult side
— but technically possible.
Has anybody tried something like that before? If so, bumped into some hidden
pitfalls perhaps?
Thanks,
OC
