Numerification of Order:: constants

2006-08-17 Thread Reed, Mark \(TBS\)
S03, lines 418-420: "[cmp] always returns C, C, or C (which numerify to -1, 0, or +1)." Shouldn't Order::Increase numerify to +1 and Order::Decrease to -1? In which case it would be clearer to put them in respective order above...

String length

2006-08-17 Thread Reed, Mark \(TBS\)
S02 states that there is no ".length" method on Str's (or for cumulative element length of Arrays); you have to ask explicitly for the units you want to count . But then it goes on to define the StrPos and StrLen types, which are unit-agnostic. So why not have a .length that returns a StrLen?
