I don't think there's a Parrot bug filed for the issue of MMD
dispatch on string/int/num values. However, since the new pdd27mmd
branch (which affects MMD handling) will be shortly merging into
trunk, we should probably report any issues there rather than what is
currently taking place in trunk. Either that or look for clarification
in the pdd27 specification itself (and tests in the Parrot test suite
to match).
Here's the test I used to convince myself that :multi('String')
doesn't match string constant arguments:
$ cat y.pir
.sub main :main
foo('_')
.end
.sub foo :multi('String')
say 'foo String'
.end
$ ./parrot y.pir
No applicable methods.
current instr.: 'main' pc 8 (y.pir:2)
$
Pm
