| Summary | REDUCE paren! evaluate and generate paren! |
|---|---|
| Description |
Have REDUCE of a paren! evaluate and generate a paren! of the results, the same way that REDUCE of a block! evaluates and generates a block!. All other datatypes should continue to pass through, as they do now - this includes path types, which don't have the right evaluation model for REDUCE to treat like a block. No change to the argument evaluation style, so you'll have to use an expression that generates a paren as the argument rather than a literal paren. |
| Example code |
; Current behavior >> reduce quote (1 + 1) == (1 + 1) >> reduce (1 + 1) == 2 >> head reduce/into quote (1 + 1) [] == (1 + 1) ; Note that /into is ignored for non-block values (a different bug) ; Proposed behavior >> reduce quote (1 + 1) == (2) >> reduce (1 + 1) == 2 >> head reduce/into quote (1 + 1) [] == [1 + 1] ; Results should be inserted inline, not as a nested value |
