Moose::Role + overload

[ #36582 ]
follow code does not works.

  package MyApp::Role::Stringify;
  use overload
    q{""} => sub { shift->stringify }
  ;
  requires 'stringify';

  package MyApp;
  with 'MyApp::Role::Stringify';
  has dat ( is => 'ro', isa => 'Str' );
  sub stringify { shift->dat }

because, the architecture of overload.pm is

  export method named '()'
  export method named '(""'

Moose::Role applies coderefs, that defined at Role.Exported methods are not import to applicant.

one way to resolve this problem is:

    package MyApp::Role::Stringify;
    use Moose::Role;
    __PACKAGE__->meta->add_package_symbol('&()' => sub { }); # dummy
    __PACKAGE__->meta->add_package_symbol('&(""' => sub { shift->stringify });

but, this is not so smart :( this is Hentai way(hentai means tricky in japanese)

  • __PACKAGE__->meta->set_overload(q{""} => sub { shift->stringify } ); is much better?
  • Hentai often gets translated as pervert in anime, at least, though I know the root (hen) means strange. But us foreign anime geeks generally associate the word hentai with some sort of sexual deviancy ;)
    • Yeah, if Hentai is being used to describe a man, that definitely means a pervert. But when we say "this code is Hentai", it could mean really tricky or voodoo code :)
    • yeah, hentai means sexual things in japanese. but, sometime, japanese geeks calls 'this is hentai!' about tricky code :) this is jargon
      • Ah, I see, interesting stuff.

        Obviously, my limited knowledge of Japanese has an extra weird bent because I've mostly learned things by watching anime, which isn't exactly a good example of normal Japanese life.

        I was kind of disappointed that on my trips to Tokyo there hasn't been one single giant robot battle on the streets. Not one!

      • On second thought, this reminds me of “bukakke,” which AFAIK is innocuous in Japanese, but was adopted in Western languages for one particular and relatively unusual meaning… :-)

    • Well, it doesn’t seem strange to me to say “this code is perverted.”

      • That may be the case.
        But it does seem perverted to call code 'evil.' ;-)
        Substituting 'perverted' and 'evil' for 'strange'
        and 'perverted.'
        So perhaps 'hentai' just means 'strange'. :-)

  • I think ->meta->add_overload() would make an excellent MooseX:: module. I did not add it to core Moose because I am not a big fan of overload, and after having added the support into Class::Trait I was not wanting to experience it again :)
