We tried to use '~' within Pixie, but for a very good reason that I now can't remember, we ended up having to introduce our own magic type. | [reply] |
The thing that would concern me is that if the module is generally useful, that an implementation "collision" would occur. I can't imagine how hard it would be to track that bug down. Before this little project I would never ever consider that possibility. If you remember the reason, please do tell. Hopefully I can avoid it though.

One of these days I'm going to use the Pixie::Info technique to implement Data::OutOfBand (or some such name) which would hang a hash off something by magic and allow different classes to hang arbitrary info off an object (key the hash on the *storing* class). However, it's waiting on getting a few appropriately shaped tuits...
