Re: Type Conversion Matrix, Pragmas (TAKE 4)

nt for assigment to $int. So the Foo class gets to decide how to do that. In which case what you're proposing requires either - the compiler to write the code to pass extra flags to the int method - the compiler to write call a different int method (eg, int_warn()) - for the int method to look at the calling context to get flags Please correct me if I'm wrong (which I could easily be as I've not been following any of thise closely). I think this is an important topic because it may reflect back on how the specific Int/Num/Str classes should also be handled. Tim [quite possibly talking nonsense]
