Rejected 0/6/0 For: none Against: DKF, JE, MS, KBK, JN, JH Present: none Rejection Comments: By DKF: > > The TIP as proposed runs a big fat wrecking ball through Tcl's value > > system by adding a lot of extra magic, causing major disruption to the > > way many things work in Tcl at the moment; implementing the TIP to > > high-enough quality would be very hard work (the NULL handling of every > > single Tcl command would need checking, and a significant number of > > extra tests would need to be written, to say nothing of the impact on > > extensions) and would probably slow things down[*] as well. Since only a > > single use-case needs this sort of thing, it would be far easier for > > something targeted at that to be done (e.g. as part of TIP#308 - TDBC). By JE: > > In addition to all the reasons DKF mentioned why > > TIP#185 is a Bad Idea, it would also do major damage > > to the semantics at the scripting level. Do not want. By KBK: > > TIP 185 is an extraordinarily bad idea, because its implications > > extend to every Tcl command that accepts arguments, creating new > > opportunities for errors everywhere. The language abundantly > > supports other means for applications to deal with "missing data" > > in the correct, application-dependent manner. By JH: > > Verdict may be out on the concept as a whole, but no on this particular > > tip. check-in: 4fdfca0104 user: dkf tags: trunk
