Anyone mentioned that this:
$SHORT = 'Some::Huge::Obnoxious::Ridiculous::Term';
$SHORT->member;
$stuff = new $SHORT;
Already works? The only problem is that this:
$SHORT::stuff(@args);
Doesn't, but this is a precedence issue with :: and variable
interpolation which I actually submitted RFC 103 on. You could still
write this currently:
&{"${SHORT}::stuff"}(@args);
But admittedly this is not pretty to look at.
Assuming repairing :: precedence is a reality I don't think this
proposal buys us anything. I had actually seen the p5p thread before,
and it seems like a neat idea on the surface, but it's a real special
case and syntax for something that can be solved with simple variables.
