I really like the idea. > Now I'd like to hear your opinion: > * Is it useful at all? Yes. > * Is it possible to implement it satisfactory without building a > p6 compiler? It should ultimately be independent from building yet another compiler subproject. Else you don't find enough comrades to follow. I suggest not starting with an implementation but with the base description itself in any form. That might be a simple text file in pugs svn or a wiki page. That's step 1, IMHO. Do you think it's possible to extract and collect all the operators and descriptions from the synopses into one common place? If we had such a collection we would then format it in a second step into a structured collection and the third step is a frontend to that, the easiest part, IMHO. Step 1 is the real challenge, isn't it? Steffen -- Steffen Schwigon <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Dresden Perl Mongers <http://dresden-pm.org/> Deutscher Perl-Workshop <http://www.perl-workshop.de/>
