Re: [sc-users] finding a method

[James Harkins <jamshark70@xxxxxxxxx>]

When you write _.name, that by itself compiles as a function. Any additional methods you chain onto that will apply to the function -- they don't get folded into the function definition.

In the partial application help file, there is "An example of what you can't do" that covers your case as well.

y = x.detect({ arg m; m.name === \deprecated }); // right
