This is exactly the type of construct that I had in mind. A couple of
questions. Is code inside of a #{}:
- parsed and required to be syntacticly correct?
No. It's a comment. # followed by one or more open bracket characters
creates a comment that lasts until the matching closing bracket
character(s). It is otherwise exactly treated as single-line
comments. So:
- does it still appear in emitted code?
Not sure what you mean here.
- what happens when a goto tries to enter into this block
It fails because the label it's referencing doesn't exist.
or a nested sub is invoked?
Ditto.
- will the optimizer spend time on this block?
No.
Note, however, that Luke's example is incorrect according to S02. A
line beginning with #{ doesn't start a bracketed comment; it's treated
as a single-line comment. You need to put something before the # on
the line.
