n the thread about bi-annual syntax review, I listed a number of potential
problems with the syntax.
In this proposal, I'd like to tackle mainly problem (6).
Summary:
I suggest that we allow for range of selectors to be grouped.
The solution to the example provided in the problem statement would look like
this:
key = { $num, $gender ->
[one, masculine] She likes when he dances
[one, feminine] She likes when she dances
[other, masculine] They like when he dances
[other, feminine] They like when she dances
}
It requires small changes to the AST and syntax, since we already support lists
("key = { $user1, $user2 }") and we only would need to allow a selector
expression to be a list and keyword key to be a list.
The value is the simplification of the visual clutter.
Additionally, this solution would play nicely with the proposal to allow for
specifiers (the "Dissolve traits" proposal, part 1):
key2 = { key[one, masculine] }
working for both, nested and flattened nested selectors.
Thoughts?
