ive oft wondered how a constant/parameter namespace could be designed to:
- lighten Exporter symbol export in perl 5
- expose (for example) POSIX constants in only the contexts where
theyre meaningful
within a POSIX call - ex various c-open flags (im too lazy
to cite any currently)
ie disambiguate with tighter context (so that full::names
arent needed
(ie in argument to POSIX::open or whatever)
- unify perl 5 -> 6 (clarify path between)
related : (tho I cant synthesize a decent explanation)
the recent p5p machinations in the :via namespace
File::Spec (iirc) or ancestors, and its parameter functions -
forgive any misattribution
lazy evaluation of %Config ?
Can topicalizers help to provide a semantic context in argument-lists ?
can this help ascertain the 'constness' of a function so that export,
run costs are minimized.
sorry, since this is a kinda punt on my own investigations.
