Add install instructions for calling z by another name

The [/rupa/z](/rupa/z) script for maintaining a dynamic directory cache is quite popular and included in some Linux distributions.
So the README should probably explain how to install this `z` under a different name (since _that_ `z`, being a shell function, can't be easily renamed without forking the code).

patrickb lizmat, Altai-man: AzureCI does indeed cover all test scenarios Travis (and CircleCI and AppVeyor) covers. The only reason we didn't shut the others down yet, is that I wanted to give us some time to make sure Azure is not breaking on us. The capability of doing a re-test seems to be a bit fragile (possibly only because people tend to fail to find 08:38
the button). But I'm a bit reluctant to look into this, as I'm working on a tool to orchestrate the entire CI stack anyways.
Btw. I'm thinking about applying for a grant for the CI manager program in the hopes that will allow me to work on it more often. (I do tend to finish stuff I set out to do. But experience has shown that I often need a long time, because I can't allocate the time to work things.) 08:43

vrurg Anyway, I don't know how you use the attribute, but if $!type is a cercion then you have.^nominal_type, .^target_type, and .^constraint_type. 15:01
lizmat I think it goes further than that: nqp::bindattr_i($param,Parameter,'$!flags',128); 15:02
didn't the values of flags also change ? 15:03

nine But I guess you learned a bit about how this stuff is supposed to work? Because...I cannot imagine what we have now is really that
vrurg Actually, I don't see what's wrong about it. C::A::B is declared under A::B namespace. So, it's actually A::B::C::A::B 16:18
m: module A::B { class A::B { }; class C is export { }; class C::A::B is export { }; class X::A::B { }; }; my A::B $b; my X::A::B $x; my C::A::B $c;
camelia ( no output )
vrurg ^ this is how you get C::A::B available outside of A::B 16:19
nine That's actually the one that I understand :) By the same logic though X::A::B should become A::B::X::A::B and class A::B should become A::B::A::B
vrurg Ah, A::B... Sure, it's all wrong.
m: module A::B { class A::B { }; class C is export { }; class C::A::B is export { }; class X::A::B { }; }; my A::B::A::B $b; my X::A::B $x; my C::A::B $c;

camelia wrong!
vrurg I'd say they whole namespacing needs at least some refurbishing.
nine Trouble is that this bug is actually depended on in the wild by modules like OpenSSL: unit module OpenSSL::Stack; class OpenSSL::Stack { ... } 16:21
vrurg I think the problem is caused by the outer A::B being stubbed at the point where the inner one is declared.
Then we'd have to patch OpenSSL. Because it just must not be this way. 16:22
nine github.com/rakudo/rakudo/blob/mast....nqp#L1651
vrurg Unfortunately, I have to go. And yes, it's about the location I was stumbling upon long ago and thinking that there is a problem with it. 16:24
nine That ^^^ is the code responsible for this surprising behaviour. Looks pretty intentional. Also the X::A::B part is depended on in the wild by e.g. Inline::Perl5.
vrurg I guess it was supposed to handle stubs, not incomplete outers. 16:25
vrurg is afk

vrurg nine: I got back for a minute. As I think about it more and more, the thing looks entirely wrong to me. Names must be scoped. Perhaps worth a problem-solving to think more about it, but so far I'd be fore removing that functionality. 16:43

[JVM] Recompute HOW before calling coerce

In the case of a generic type that needs instantiation (::T, T) paramType gets a new value. Therefore it wasn't correct to only compute HOW once, at the top of bindOneParam (cmp. of 34bc0b9147).
This fixes test failures in S06-signature/type-capture.t.

[JVM] Unskip tests that find coercion method again

Fixed with github.com/rakudo/rakudo/commit/a3ed02042e
21:06
bartolin sorry for the noise (fudge/unfudge), but I didn't really expect to find a quick fix for any of the failing tests 21:07
vrurg bartolin: thanks. On my side I was never even able to complete `make test`. So, I don't even try spectesting on JVM. 21:09
nine To answer my own question: if I forgo merge_globals the code I generate has to become a lot smarter. Since there's no merge I cannot blindly add stub packages but have to use existing ones if they already exist - or actually still merge if the existing one is a stub. I.e. I'd have to generate code that does much of merge_globals. 21:13
Might still be worth it as it has the potential to fix existing bugs, but boy, that's a lot of work again... 21:14
vrurg nine: worse if the work would have to be re-done later. The documentation states that `use` is a lexical things. But, in fact, it is not. And worse, I suspect the effects of a use inside a lexical block could propagate to a 3rd party module code. 21:18
bartolin vrurg: you're welcome. Sadly 'make test' doesn't work (it uses the EvalServer which leaks threads and memory). But it is possible to run the test files from roast one after the other. (I have to admit that I don't do that for Rakudo's test ...) 21:19
vrurg bartolin: maybe it worth re-implementing harness to make it get around the EvalServer problem? 21:20
nwc10 and sometimes they melt the engines: www.youtube.com/watch?v=1yjAife58e...be#t=4m20s 21:25
bartolin vrurg: I took a quick look and I'm actually using the script t/spec/test_summary without further tweaks. It shouldn't be too hard to do something similar for 'make test'. (But I'm kind of afraid to see the results ;)) 21:27
nwc10 The astute quote being: Failure is an option here. If things are not failing, you are not innovating enough. 21:28
