Dynamic Protocols #15

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago
When dynamically applying protocols, the use of callbacks can give rise to 
unexpected behaviour as 
the protocols are no longer active when the call-backs are activated. Moreover, 
since the 
dynamically activated protocol is not always lexically visible, the call-back 
cannot be held 
responsible to re-install them (it should be agnostic to their presence).

Hence we propose to introduce a call-back framework where language construct 
designers 
document when they use a call-back such that dynamic protocols can hook into 
this.
