| Context: This happened as I found some silent failures, which led to a review of all primitives to identify ones which did not check for bad types and swallowed errors. There were a number where this was incorrectly done and stuff would just quietly not work. The String ones perhaps need more nuanced handling, although FWIW I did check with the original author of the relevant code to see if the previous implementation of those was intentional or just an oversight. It wasn’t intentional.
I can adjust these to accept other types. What would be helpful would be if we could first come up with a specification for what such methods should accept. Certainly Chars seem reasonable in this case. S. |
