What's the general thoughts in adding even more DWIM to C constructors?
Extra bloat or needed syntatic sugar?
As a random thought I was having the other day, it'd be nice if the
following automagically worked:
void functionname(char* foo, STRLEN foo_length)
{
....
Which can be called from perl like so:
functionname("this is my string, do you like it?")
And both foo and foo_length get filled in. What do we think? Conditions
for the DWIM to kick in are:
a) A char* (or similar) followed by a STRLEN.
b) The STRLEN variable name is the same as the char* but has _length
attached on the end.
Does this kind of thing make sense, or am I just muddying the waters here?
