Keep in mind that the two following definitions are equivalent:
class A { method foo () {...} }
multi sub foo (A $a) {...}
Except for attribute access, I think.
For public attrs the accessor is not used and private ones are available:
class A
{
has $.pub = "pub";
has $:priv = "priv";
method foo ()
{
say "pub = $.pub";
say "priv = $:priv";
}
}
multi sub foo( A $a )
{
say "pub = $a.pub()";
}
Another subtlety is that the method call syntax prefers single dispatch:
my $obj = A.new;
$obj.foo();
foo( $obj );
I think stuffing a method into a multi sub should be just fine.
Me too. The above is irrelevant for the call site.
