List.munch used in spectests, but not defined. #7

coke commented 12 years ago

Need a ruling as to whether this should be part of the spec, or if the tests need re-writing:

S03-metaops/zip.t
S03-operators/range-int.t
S03-sequence/arity0.t
S03-sequence/basic.t
S03-sequence/nonnumeric.t
S04-statements/gather.t

My inclination is that it will be part of the spec. There are several places where Rakudo uses it to good effect.

I'm not sure what .munch exactly does. It seems to eat finite lists, and take some from infinite lists?

colomon commented 11 years ago

It reifies the next N elements in an infinite list. Probably waiting on pmichaud++'s list (re-?)design for a decision on this.
