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.

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.

in what order multiple `NEXT{}` run. Agent requested that this be

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.

subject: When should a LAST block be triggered?
summary: |-
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?

subject: Some extra reference types
summary: |-
Jonathan Worthington proposed two new core PMCs, 'references to a particular
element in an aggregate type' and 'references to a register'. The second
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.

summary: |-
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.
