A focused month where I advanced both my "magic-v2" and "attributes-v2"
ideas, working on various bits of API additions and changes, while also
experimenting locally with what the converged state will eventually
look like, and check that the combination will lead to useful abilities.
* 9 = Magic-v2 "CODE" magic additions
* https://github.com/leonerd/perl5/tree/magic-v2-code
* 1 = Drafting the "@INC dirs improvements" PPC
* https://github.com/Perl/PPCs/pull/95
* 2 = Attributes-v2
* https://github.com/leonerd/perl5/tree/attributes-v2
* 8 = Experiment with merging "CODE" magic and attributes-v2 to see whether they're both going in the right direction
* 4 = Add `pad_fetchmy` API functions as part of Attributes-v2
* https://github.com/Perl/perl5/pull/24965
* 1 = substr-in-substr lvalue bugfix
* https://github.com/Perl/perl5/pull/25000
* 2 = builtin::indexed + foreach + refaliasing bugfix
* https://github.com/Perl/perl5/pull/25024
* https://github.com/Perl/perl5/pull/25025
* 1 = Github code reviews
Total: 28 hours
Next month I hope to be able to finally get "CODE" magic to a point
where it can be merged, and possibly PADNAME magic as well. This will
serve a good basis for finishing the attributes-v2 branch hoping to get
that in by the end of the year.
