Subject: | List of possible experimental features may be incomplete |
In the SYNOPSIS part of http://search.cpan.org/~leont/experimental-0.016/lib/experimental.pm, we see:
#####
use experimental 'lexical_subs', 'smartmatch';
#####
However, farther down in the DESCRIPTION, under "The supported features, documented further below, are:", we see a list of features from which 'lexical_subs' is absent.
#####
array_base - allow the use of $[ to change the starting index of @array
autoderef - allow push, each, keys, and other built-ins on references
lexical_topic - allow the use of lexical $_ via "my $_"
postderef - allow the use of postfix dereferencing expressions, including
in interpolating strings
refaliasing - allow aliasing via \$x = \$y
regex_sets - allow extended bracketed character classes in regexps
signatures - allow subroutine signatures (for named arguments)
smartmatch - allow the use of ~~
switch - allow the use of ~~, given, and when
#####
At the least, 'lexical_subs' should be added to this list. However, this raises the possibility that the list may be out-of-date with respect to the actual current experimental features in the core distribution.
How should we handle this?
Thank you very much.
