Because you've added an extra argument, the example calls are no longer correct.
Perhaps renaming the current first argument to this
would be a safer change? (although that would make the argument lists be this b
and this b c
which is less intuitive in my opinion)
I can prepend this and drop the last argument.
@seancorfield : If it's still not good, please feel free to update it so it is fine.
The protocol P
/ bar-me
code is still incorrect because you've added an argument there.
I'll leave it up to @puredanger et al to decide what clarifications actually work / are needed here.
There are a couple of existing issues, #215 and #216, that I think also have some excellent points and examples. I think the most important thing to change about the examples here is to make the examples actually meaningful, and not use foo/bar/baz at all. Or maybe it's syntax + examples or something.
My one hesitation with making this
more prevalent (even though this is a common usage), is that it implies extra meaning for developers coming from Java (where that is a special thing), and also the anaphoric macro proxy
where this
actually is a "special" bound symbol. But maybe it's just a matter of saying that explicitly in the doc.
I think keeping this
(for a lack of better name) + explicit mentioning behavior in the docs is good enough.
I could try to merge the docs.
@puredanger: please let me know if you want to take this on or not.
Made sure
this
is mentioned as first argument. It's not obvious from the docs.Signed CA on 2022-11-16 .
