EG Zoom meeting today at 5pm UTC (9am PDT, 12pm EDT). Lots of traffic this time, we can have follow up discussions wherever there's interest. Potential topics:
"Consolidating the user model": followup discussions homed in on how we model primitive values—whether they're reference-less objects or some other "value" entity, and how they interact with reference types "Equality operator for identityless classes": Kevin is concerned that the new == operator is an attractive nuisance, because it's sometimes, but not always, equivalent to 'equals' "identityless objects and the type hierarchy": discussed how the IdentityObject/PrimitiveObject interfaces are used in the "Consolidating the user model" world "Consequences of null for flattenable representations": John described strategies for encoding nulls where object references are flattened
