Quoting #parrot:
<@autrijus> when I say ".local pmc foo", what happens at INS?
< leo> nothing - that just declares the name "foo" being a P symbol
<@autrijus> and its scope is... .sub ?
< leo> yep, .sub / .end
<@autrijus> so there's no notion of lexical scopes?
<@autrijus> in IMC level
<@autrijus> it's all .sub (dynamic scope)
<@autrijus> and no inner .sub s
< leo> no - I asked several times if that would be useful
< leo> - no inner subs
I find this ... surprising. How is Perl 6 supposed to implement its
idea of %MY:: if there's no lexical scoping other than in .subs, and
there are no nested .subs?
