.... Surely "defined" is a method on C<Object> ?
I made the assumption of "Any" because the existing signature allowed
Any as its type. Presumably the question we need to answer is whether
Junctions can be undefined, since, if I understand correctly, Junction and Any
compose from Object, and everything else composes from one of these. Of
course, I could be wrong again :).
After reading S02, though, I think I come to the same conclusion as
you -- .defined should be on Object.
In the methods above, if "$self" is intended to be the
invocant, I think it needs to have a colon after it.
I was wondering about this. In that case, I think this mistake needs
correcting elsewhere. I'll do it.
Also, I personally would prefer to not see explicit typing
on the invocants to most methods.
Agreed. I wonder what I was thinking :).
