        subject: multi method dispatching of optional arguments
        summary: |-
          Mark Stosberg wanted the specifications to address what should happen
          in MMD when optional arguments are present (S12).  He patched 
          `mmd-draft.txt` and sent the text to the newsgroup.  Luke Palmer
          offered a suggestion.
          
          Ph. Marek wondered if there will be MMD based on the value of parameters,
          as in Haskell.  Audrey Tang confirmed this and pointed to S06.  Trey
          Harris updated it with a reference to S12.  Ruud H.G. van Tol also offered
          an example of syntax.

        subject: 'when calling sets of methods, what happens to the return values?'
        summary: |-
          Mark Stosberg asked for clarification in S12 on what happens to return
          values when sets of methods are called.  Later he saw that Audrey had
          implemented the functionality and decided to make the final return value
          an unconcatenated list of each method's return value.  He thought this
          was fine, but a downside might be that it is hard to identify where a
          return value initiated, since there is no indication which methods were
          called and in which order.

          Gaal Yahas asked for some clarification on the intent in S06's "Unpacking
          tree node parameters" so that he could introduce the optional use of the
          colon more gradually.

        summary: |-
          Mark Stosberg wanted to see comments "like Perl 5" and "like multi
          dispatch" expanded in the documentation of the Objects chapter in 
          S12.  A reference to their specifications would be adequate.
          Brad Bowman commented on what he felt were the allowed combinations
          of adverbs.  Mark replied.

          Replying to a thread in which Larry Wall stated that exiting blocks run
          in reverse order, Agent Zhang included an IRC conversation with
          Audrey Tang where they reached the conclusion that Larry should clarify
          in what order multiple `NEXT{}` run.  Agent requested that this be
          explicitly expressed in S04.

          Trey Harris showed an example code where an undef `$_` was seen
          as false like `1 ~~ 0`.  He suggested some clarifications on `when`.
          Mark J. Reed disagreed with the suggestion that using `when` should
          cause an error outside of a block which sets `$_`.  Trey clarified.

          Agent Zhang quoted a section of S04 concerning NEXT blocks.  This led
          to a question about when LAST blocks are executed.  For instance, would
          they only be used if the last iteration of the loop is reached normally,
          when an explicit last is executed, or in all cases where the block is
          exited?

          Jonathan Worthington proposed two new core PMCs, 'references to a particular

          requires an opcode, and Jonathan would like the second to have one as well.
          He included a PDD patch.  Leopold Toetsch added another example of where
          the PMCs would be useful, and commented on the proposal.

          Jonathan Worthington noted that the include path for BCG was hard-coded
          in the dynamic PMC build script, which causes problems on Windows.  He
          suggested that `build/tools/dynpmc.pl` could accept -I and -L flags.
          Leopold Toetsch thought the script should be removed in favor of standard
          Makefile rules.

          Leopold Toetsch found a need for a select/poll system interface.  He listed
          what is currently available and talked about how the system could be
          implemented.  In r14465 most of the functionality was added.

          Leopold Toetsch thought it was time to consider interpreter structures
          and data with regard to threads.  He offered his thoughts and solicited
          for comments.  Later he replied to a comment to explain that continuations
          could not be used because they should not be shared between threads.

          Trey Harris noted a problem in `cperl-mode.el` with twigils which 
          caused `$.x` to be interpreted as `$.` followed by the x operator.
          He asked for help in fixing it.  Steffen Schwigon had been working on it,
          and thought it worked, but suggested trying an older revision to see
          if he had introduced bugs.  Trey reported
          that the old revisions don't work and offered some sample code.
          Steffen offered to look in to it.  He suggested that longer variable
          names might work, but short ones were still broken.

          suggested integrating the synopsis-with-smoke with the existing smoke
          infrastructure.  He had some questions about how to proceed.  Agent Zhang
          was very interested in seeing the feature developed.
          Ingo Blechschmidt offered some suggestions on implementation.
          Christopher explained why he thought multi-versioning of the `t` directory
          was critical.
          
          Meanwhile,
          Yuval Kogman noted two other smoke servers Christopher could look at.
          Jesse Vincent clarified some details on the second server Yuval mentioned,
          Chimps.
