! copyright 2023 nomennescio ! normal sequences are considered to have elements of type object, which carry almost no type information ! having uniform sequences with elements of the same type would be an opportunity to specialize for more performant code ! without disrupting the current hierarchies and code, one improvement would be to have such a uniform sequence for nested sequences, to allow for "deep" traversals, a common pattern in many generic words. ! error handling non-similar types (i.e. not base-class nor derived, where mixins are considered classes, and instances subclasses) ERROR: similar-type element index sequence ; ! high-level skeleton, to be refined MIXIN: nested-sequence INSTANCE: nested-sequence sequence TUPLE: nested-array < array ! additional fields, possible a type field ; INSTANCE: nested-array nested-sequence ! more code ! setting an array to an element of a different type should fail DEFER: }} ( -- * ) delimiter SYNTAX: {{ \ }} [ >nested-array ] parse-literal ;
