[REBOL] Passing refinements to sub functions. Re:
From: jelinem1:nationwide at: 8-Aug-2000 8:39
I haven't come up with an 'simple,elegant' solution to this. The more i
tried to automate this, the more work it became until in the end it was
easier just to deal with all if the refinement cases manually. I did create
a passable solution in which I'm able to pass all of the values of a set of
refinements to a lower-level function as a block of logic! with only a line
or two of code in the high-level function. I can dig it back up if you're
interested.

Subject: [REBOL] Passing refinements to sub functions.
Hi list,
Often I have a function built on another. Sometimes the lower function has
refinement that I want to surface on the higher function. If there is one
refinement I just use an either. If there are more this approach becomes a
real pain.
I've come up the solution of creating an object with the refinements as
fields and passing that. But I still have a bit of code creating the object
in the first place. An alternative is using a block with set words and
values, but I haven't figured how to use this effectively (that is I
suspect
I need
bind but I haven't got it working yet).
Has anyone an elegant solution for passing multiple refinements down the
line?
Brett.
