Re^3: RFC: Export tags for builtin pragma

Maybe :numeric instead of :round? That provides some future proofing in the event functions like looks_like_number are added at a later date.

Although maybe that causes issues as then different module versions would load different subs.

G'day swl, ++ Thanks for your suggestion. If `builtin::round` were added, I think that would still be suitable for `:round`. If `builtin::looks_like_number` were added, that might go in `:numeric`; however, perhaps `:string` would be better (and could include `built::trim`). I feel like I've opened a can of worms and they're all escaping in different directions. 🥫 🪱 ↖️ 🪱 ↗️ 🪱 ↘️ 🪱 ↙️ — Ken	[reply] [d/l] [select]
