Re^2: Your named arguments

Confusion? I can understand why you fail to see it, no one mentioned any confusion. ;)

BTW That was just a simple example of a wired range function signatures avaiable in p6. See http://dev.perl.org/perl6/doc/design/syn/S06.html for all the new options in signatures includeing optional, required, positional, named, slurpy array, and slurpy hash params.

I've been following the thread with not a little bemusement. I think that some people on the list are conflating optional with "will be everywhere!" Heck, I still look up the arguments for splice(). I fully expect to be looking up the various signature types for at least a year or two, and that's ok. My criteria for good software: Does it work? Can someone else come in, make a change, and be reasonably certain no bugs were introduced?	[reply]
