Hi *,
I was trying to see if one can delegate phasers to a proto, like this:
proto sub foo(|) {
ENTER { say 'In' }
LEAVE { say 'Out' }
{*}
}
multi sub foo(Int $a) {
$a
}
multi sub foo(Str $a) {
$a
}
say foo(1);
say foo('hello');
Yes indeed, it outputs:
In
Out
1
In
Out
hello
But at fi
Not reproducible with raku star 2020.05.1 \o/
Thanks for the help

{*} is specially handled by the compiler as a term.
Let's say you have a class named Foo:
class Foo {…}
You wouldn't expect to be able to use it like this:
F o o.new()
It is the same thing with {*}.
The only difference is that {*} is meant to look like a Block { } combined
with a Whate

Thank you!
I guess that handling is peculiar to proto, and maybe it's worth
documenting it.

While {*} is only useful in a proto, the compiler detects it no matter
where you write it.

===SORRY!=== Error while compiling:
{*} may only appear in proto
