drakonis ah, debian already offers rakudo 2022.03 on experimental 00:54

drakonis i'm actually impressed that raku shows up on every rosetta code page 04:34

grondilu How do I compare blobs? &infix:<eq> seems to work but I thought blobs are not supposed to be cast into Str? 18:15
also ~~ does not seem to work 18:17
I guess I need to find an counterexample 18:19
moon-child normalisation
grondilu nevermind it seems that ~~ does work in the end. I may have made a mistake when trying it. 18:26
:w 18:28
lizmat m: Blob.new(1,2,3) eq Blob.new(1,2,3)
camelia WARNINGS for <tmp>:
Useless use of "eq" in expression ".new(1,2,3) eq Blob.new(1,2,3)" in sink context (line 1)
lizmat m: say Blob.new(1,2,3) eq Blob.new(1,2,3)
camelia True
lizmat grondilu ^^
m: say Blob.new(1,2,3) eq Blob.new(1,2,4) 18:29
camelia False
grondilu so using eq is safe even though Blob.Str raises an error? 18:30
m: Blob.new(1,2).Str
camelia Stringification of a Blob is not done with 'Str'. The 'decode' method
should be used to convert a Blob to a Str.
in block <unit> at <tmp> line 1
grondilu notice that I don't mind, it's just a bit confusing considering the doc for eq says it stringifies. 18:31
docs.raku.org/routine/eq : "Coerces both arguments to Str (if necessary); returns True if both are equal." 18:32
I suppose with Blob it's a case when coercion is precisely not necessary. 18:33
makes sense, my bad.
lizmat yeah.. it feels a bit counterintuitive at first 18:35
I guess you could also see a blob as a giant Int... in which case == would make more sense
however, that already had a meaning
m: say Blob.new(1,2,3) == Blob.new(1,2,4)
camelia True
18:35 Sgeo joined
lizmat that just compares number of elements 18:35
18:47 hesh307 left
grondilu I'm fine with that semantic for ==. A blob is more akin to a Str than to an Int anyway. 18:50
IMHO
lizmat thing was that when the discussion was there about how to compare blobs, == already had the meaning of counting number of elements 18:51
so I guess one chose the easy way out there

Other potential difficulties:
Leading 0 has no meaning. If you meant to create an octal number, use '0o' prefix; like, '0o00'. If you meant to create a string, please add quota…

Streamline search categories processing

  - For Index, just follow the simple "Take first meta as category"
   or report an error heuristic
  - For Primary, allow to overload header processor with something custom
   ($*HEADING-TO-ANCHOR-TRANSFORMER-ACTIONS)
  - Streamline Search generation: prefer primary pages over secondary ones,
   detect duplicate search anchors, be better at calculating categories		 19:39

Update tests to match new implementation
