arkiuat jubilatious1_98524, this is true, but the docs also use the word "module" in two different senses, and that's probably much more confusing than that the IO::Path method slurp has nothing to do with "slurpy" being a term for the behavior one kind of Signature parameter 15:19
+Of
I guess it might be worthwhile to point that out though. Like two parentheticals, one in method slurp saying "No relation to L<slurpy parameters>" and then under the discussion of the latter "Nothing to do with <L IO::Path method slurp>" 15:25

jubilatious1_98524 @arkuiat I should get on Github and make a suggestion then. Maybe something like my-slurp() will be clearer? That way, newbies won't waste time looking up the in-built slurp() routine/method. 16:32
arkiuat yeah, I don't think that's going to be any clearer at all. 16:50
How does sticking a my- on front clarify anything? I don't get it. 16:51
16:59 ds7832 joined
jubilatious1_98524 @arkuiat Because no in-built Raku sub/method/routing will have my- prepended to it? Would you rather it read my-personally-modified-slurp() instead?? 17:09

librasteve I think we are stuck with the same term for reading from a file slurp and gathering all remaining arguments to a slurpy Array|Hash ... so my vote is to leave the code sub names alone and just have a short note that says do not confuse this with the file read routine called slurp 18:28
jubilatious1_98524 It's just three letters: sub my-slurp(*@pos) { say @pos; } 19:18
ds7832 that code example (the second under docs.raku.org/language/signatures#...ned_slurpy ) was introduced through a recent edit of mine. When I wrote it I must have been totally unaware of Raku.s own slurp() routine. The name should definitely be changed, IMO to something like "slurpy-routine" to leave no doubt that this has nothing to do with Raku's own slurp(). 19:37
I'll add it to my active PR 19:40
Done: github.com/Raku/doc/pull/4678/comm...4b57f3b0c2 20:02
thanks for the hints 20:03
By the way, this is the only place where the docs use the terms "Flattened slurpy" and "Unflattened slurpy". I think that more fitting would be the terms "Flattening slurpy" and "Non-flattening slurpy". This will then also match usage in docs.raku.org/type/List#Items,_fla...and_sigils such as "Slurpy parameters (*@a) flatten non-itemized sublists" 20:25
librasteve ds: I agree 20:41
ds7832 Thanks, very good to have this confirmed. I'm writing on an commit to implement this 20:43
librasteve cool - its late for me now - so I will review tomorrow 20:44

ds7832 cool, have a good night! 20:46
arkiuat jubilatious1_98524, now I get. I hadn't realized you were talking about an example sub in a newly rewritten part of the docs. I thought you were talking about changing the name of the IO::Path method! 20:57
