Just wondering: since merely declaring an interface will be common
enough, should we be able to say simply "method foo;" inside a role,
and drop the {...}?
class Bla does R2 {
method foo {
# implementing here is natural, since the role only
# declared a stub, it's even a warning not to implement it
}
supersede method bar {
# explicitly tells that I want to ignore the implementation
# in the role. nextsame wouldn't find the role implementation.
}
augment method baz {
# explicitly tells that I want to provide an additional
# implementation besides the one in the role. nextsame would find
# the role implementation.
}
}
Works for me. I thought having "suggest" to make it work the other
way around sounded useful too, but perhaps you think in practice it
wouldn't be worth it?
