Re: Simple question about Inside-Out objects

refaddr()is used to be entirely agnostic about the bless status of an object.

It is essential for an inside-out class that an object keep its identity whether it is unblessed, blessed or re-blessed. Not to mention possible overloading of stringification.

`refaddr()` is used to be entirely agnostic about the bless status of an object. Speaking of which (and I'm replying to you but ideally to all those who kindly answered my question, whom I thank), I was thinking that perhaps it would be nice if standard ref, just like so many functions, returned something different in list context, i.e. something like: `REF, ADDR, BLESSED`, where `REF` would be `ref()`'s current output if the reference is not blessed, and if it is then the same as if it were not, `ADDR` the same as `refaddr()`'s and `BLESSED` the package the reference is blessed in, if it is, or undef otherwise. But I suppose that such a beast would risk of breaking too much existing code...	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Interestingly enough... UNIVERSAL::ref would allow you to override ref for some objects. There's no such thing as ref() in list context right now though. ⠤⠤ ⠙⠊⠕⠞⠁⠇⠑⠧⠊	[reply]
