Things that NQP needs

This list is based on discussions with pmichaud and unimplemented items in the grammar, src/Grammar.pg.

Code

• return

  Return needs to work on an exception model, and will likely require PAST/POST changes to support it.

• Namespace support

• Named argument (not param) support

  This will be added to PAST::Var by allowing parameter nodes to have a 'named' attribute.

Tests

• Method ops

  This may be very hard since we don't have any methods!

• Hash key access $<someKey>

• List member access $[index]

• Match variable access $/

• Scalar context $( ... )

• List context @( ... )
