Sorry, I've been occupied by various time-consuming family obligations. : And after some discussion on #perl6 I decided to make 'C3' the : algorithm of choice for the :ascendant ordering, and also to make : :ascendant the :canonical ordering (since it makes MI sane, I mean how : could you go wrong). : : Of course all this can change if @Larry decides differently :) It has been a long-standing desire of $Larry to head that direction, so unless any(@Larry) complain, that seems fine. I guess I only wonder whether that will make it harder to view SMD as a constrained subset of MMD since it might be construed as forcing a different distance metric. But maybe preserving SMD ordering as a subset of MMD shouldn't be a major concern, since it's one of those things that makes more difference in the weird cases than in the usual ones, and since Perl 6 is providing explicit call differentiation of SMD vs MMD for anything above one argument.
