Function identifier lookup
==========================
Types of functions:
* constructors / typeident-based functions
* object functions / methods
* bare functions
Syntax decisions:
* whether to have an explicit or implicit this parameter?
* typed function definitions
* simplified / variant-typed function definitions
* function calls
Syntax with implicit `this` parameter
-------------------------------------
Possible function definition syntax for typed definitions:
constructor new
bool shiny
...
func get_item
returns
Item
...
static compare_items
Item a
Item b
returns
bool equal
...
Possible function definition syntax for simplified / variant-typed defs:
constructor new shiny
...
func get_item -> item
...
static compare_items a b -> equal
...
Possible function call syntax:
func item_exists
func get_item -> item
# Implicit `this`-parameter
# See call_vs_field_syntax.txt
# (but maybe fields can be accessed by first "importing" them
# via `modifies`/`accesses` block in the function decl)
if item_exists
return retrieve_item
end
end
This syntax probably prevents usage of `f obj p1 p2 `... syntax for calls
on other objects due to ambiguities. It probably has to to `obj.f p1 p2`...
instead.
