Nicholas good *, #moarvm 06:11
Today's weather *was* ducks. (kinda sorta. In that, there were 4, flying rather low over me.)
nine Weather is more sparrowy here, partly blackbirdly with gusts of pigeons 06:13
MasterDuke usually seagull and pigeon in the morning here, turning into sprinkles of magpie in the afternoon 06:39
nine jnthnwrthngtn: 394 thanks to first multi support! 06:49
jnthnwrthngtn nine: Cool :) 09:45

camelia ducks
[Coke] WOOT
nine Looks to me like instead of grammar and actions detecting the onlystar situation and acting on it, the RakuAST::Routine node can simply look at it's body and if it only consists of a Whatever apply the only_star trait 16:21
jnthnwrthngtn nine: Yes, that'd also avoid a situation where one could manually construct an AST that looks like it should be an onlystar routine but is actually not one 16:22
Even if pretty-printing would come out the same 16:23
nine Why is onlystar even a trait btw? Wouldn't calling set_onlystar on the metaobject be enough? 16:24
jnthnwrthngtn Probably, yes. Not sure why it'd need to be a trait. 16:25
nine Especially since there's a bit of a bootstrapping issue with the trait anyway. And the trait is neither documented nor spectested.
jnthnwrthngtn Sounds like we're better off without it, then. 16:28
