What is the syntax for a section of the binding access operator?


I want to create a function that takes an object and returns a bound method, like this:

f = (~ m)
f(x)() # same as x.m()

However, this parses ~ as the unary bitwise NOT operator, rather than the binding access operator. IOW it compiles to ~change. I want it to compile to function(it) { return bind$(it, 'change'); } instead.

Can I use a section for this (and what is the syntax) or do I have to write a lambda?


Solution

  • You have to be explicit about the fact it's a DOT operator. This is currently not possible, but I added it in for 1.3.
