<ruoso> std: sub foo(1,2,3) {...}
<p6eval> std 25816: OUTPUT«ok 00:02 35m»
<jnthn> Heh
<ruoso> jnthn, is that already known?
<jnthn> I didn't even know that was valid syntax... :-P
<moritz_> rakudo: multi foo($ where 1) { 1 }, multi foo($ where 2) { 2
}; foo($_) for 1..3
<p6eval> rakudo 087e29: OUTPUT«No applicable candidates found to
dispatch to for 'foo' [...]
<ruoso> masak, I guess so...
* masak submits
<jnthn> Does the spec say you can do that?
<moritz_> dunno
<masak> screw the spec! STD says it's ok. :)
<moritz_> never seen that syntax
<ruoso> jnthn, well, it's a fantastic syntax...
<ruoso> much better than "$ where 1"
<moritz_> ruoso: it's a lot like haskellian pattern matching
<masak> jnthn: I remember requesting that syntax on NPW2008. :)
<ruoso> specially for the multi-reduce web.pm dispatcher
<masak> indeed.
<jnthn> I agree it's nice syntax, just wondered ifit's spec'd.
<ruoso> implement it, we push it in later ;)
<masak> agreed. :)
<jnthn> Will look at STD.pm and see what it parses it as, anyway...
<jnthn> I'm a little surprised it does, but in theory it's easy to get
Rakudo to handle it.
