You think, to be consistent with glob(), the base must be passed as
the *second* argument? I wonder what your reason is here, it's quite
unexpected.
In a chain what gets passed is the object that is being processed.
In this case I would say the expression is processed, while the path is
a parameter indicating how to process the expression.
eval GetPattern()->glob()->ListResults()
eval GetPattern()->globpath(&rtp)->ListResults()
Did you expect that with -> the base is always passed as the first
argument? That doesn't work well for some existing functions.
It works well with globpath(), that's why it's unexpected.
Is there some other rule which prevents users from looking up :help for every
function?
Or are there just a few exceptions?
Rules for example
- base is passed as first argument
- doesn't work well for: printf(), setline(), strftime(), append(), ... other
easy to guess functions
- "exceptions", base anyway passed as second argument: globpath(), ...
