superators
by Jay Phillips
http://jicksta.com
== DESCRIPTION:
Superators are a superset of new Ruby operators you can create and use.
== FEATURES/PROBLEMS:
* Presently a superator operand must support having a singleton class. Because true, false, nil, Symbols, and Fixnums
are all specially optimized for in MRI and cannot have singleton classes, they can't be given to a superator. There are
ways this can be potentially accounted for, but nothing is in place at the moment, causing this to be classified as a
bug.
* When defining a superator in a class, any operators overloaded after the superator definition will override a
superator definition. For example, if you create the superator "<---" and then define the <() operator, the superator
will not work. In this case, the superator's definition should be somewhere after the <() definition.
* Superators work by handling a binary Ruby operator specially and then building a chain of unary operators after it.
For this reason, a superator must match the regexp
/^(\*\*|\*|\/|%|\+|\-|<<|>>|&|\||\^|<=>|>=|<=|<|>|===|==|=~)(\-|~|\+)+$/.
== SYNOPSIS:
Below is a simple example monkey patch which adds the "<---" operator to all Ruby Arrays.
class Array
superator "<---" do |operand|
if operand.kind_of? Array
self + operand.map { |x| x.inspect }
else
operand.inspect
end
end
end
== REQUIREMENTS:
* Only requirement is Ruby.
== INSTALL:
* sudo gem install superators
* require 'superators'
