The following module was proposed for inclusion in the Module List:
modid: Sub::Context
DSLIP: bdppp
description: Context-sensitive subroutine dispatch
userid: CHROMATIC (chromatic)
chapterid: 3 (Development_Support)
communities:
http://perlmonks.org/index.pl?node_id=132261
similar:
Want, Class::Multimethods
rationale:
Sub::Context makes it easier to create or to modify subroutines
that have different behavior in different contexts. It's slightly
more than a wrapper around wantarray(). My aim is to explore a
different idea for function dispatch -- instead of parametric
polymorphism, why not context-sensitive polymorphism?
Class::Multimethods doesn't currently support this, though Damian's
expressed interest in seeing the progress of this module. Want.pm
exposes other types of contexts, and the plan is to integrate
optional support in Sub::Context.
