A mix of things this month, though I didn't get much done in the final
week because of preparations for my talk at LPW2025. A useful event
though because a few ideas came out of discussions that I shall be
looking at for core perl soon.
* 4 = Mentoring preparation for BooK + Eric on PPC 0014
* 4.5 = attributes-v2 branch
* https://github.com/Perl/perl5/pull/23923
* 3 = Experiments with refalias in signatures in XS::Parse::Sublike
* 4 = Support for signature named parameters in `meta`
* 3 = Experiments with lexical class constructor functions in Object::Pad.
* While this is a CPAN module and not directly core perl, it
serves as the experimental base for what gets implemented in
future versions of perl, so it is still of interest to core
development.
* 1 = Other github code reviews
Total: 19.5 hours
My aim for December is to continue the attributes-v2 branch, and get
into a good position to implement perhaps the `:abstract` and
`:lexical_new` attributes on classes.
