<masak> TimToady: how do I get all the names the elements of an enum, in order? <masak> TimToady: simplest one I've found so far is SomeEnum.pick(*).sort <masak> hardly very idiomatic. <TimToady> masak: you might try SomeEnum::.keys since Type:: is supposed to be the stash of the type; no guarantees about rakudo though <masak> TimToady: oki, thanks. <TimToady> doesn't guarantee order either <TimToady> though of course, enums are only conventionally in a particular order <TimToady> they're just a convenient way to write a lot of constants <masak> rakudo: enum SomeEnum <a b c>; say SomeEnum::.keys <masak> locally, I get "invoke() not implemented in class 'Perl6Role'" <p6eval> rakudo 7347ec: ( no output ) <masak> is that worth a rakudobug submission? <masak> std: enum SomeEnum <a b c>; say SomeEnum::.keys <p6eval> std 29203: ok 00:01 106m * jnthn looks confused at what the intent was there <jnthn> Oh <jnthn> Treating it as a namespace...hm <masak> yah. a stash, said TimToady. * jnthn is vaguely surprised Rakudo even parses that. <masak> heh. <jnthn> I guess if it ends with :: we're meant to treat it as a stash...I guess I can go with that. <jnthn> File rakudobug if you like. * masak likes
