<dakkar> rakudo: sub infix:<R>($a,$b) { $a ~ '-' ~ $b }; sub
infix:<RR>($a,$b) { $a ~ '_' ~ $b }; say 'x' R 'y'; say 'x' RR 'y';
<p6eval> rakudo e6b463: OUTPUT«x-yx_y»
<dakkar> now, apart from "don't do that", what should happen?
<masak> dakkar: "don't do that" only applies after you've found out
that what happens is really not what you want. :)
<dakkar> masak: fair enough. the general question is: what should P6
do when meta-generated operators clash with user-defined subs? I
*think* rakudo is doing a sensible thing, btw
<masak> dakkar: me too.
<jnthn> dakkar: Your definition just happens later and wins atm, but
it's a little more ty accident than it perhaps should be.
<masak> depends on whether the auto-defined RR is considered a real
sub. then it should perhaps complain.
<jnthn> Well, it's a real sub. Question is if we make it a multi...
<jnthn> But in that case we woulda got a failure here.
<jnthn> I'm not sure. The spec may have answers.
<jnthn> But I don't remember seeing any.
<dakkar> jnthn: about the meta-operator collision thing, S03 says that
you can't modify with '!' forms that start with '!', and you can't
modify with '=' forms that end with '='
<jnthn> dakkar: Ah, OK, so should probably be an error or some thing for those.
