sorear PRE REPORT 17:15
DID: talked to japhb about val; decided to talk more later
random things implemented: two-level attribute names, direct references on $!foo, trusts, junctions in MMD, sub-signatures, literal constants as types in signatures, sub-form mixins, "where", sub-signatures, "does", Mu.clone 17:20
interesting stuff: roles, constant folding, new Rat/Complex stringification spec 17:21
potentially contentious stuff: tweaked STD to parse role Foo[$x] { ... }; Foo[4] more usefully 17:22
EOR

(mostly with the goal to reduce rakudo compilation-time memory) 17:24
found that some stuff breaks mysteriously breaks when put in the second setting
closed a few tickets, added a few tests 17:26
EOR
