Pretty::Topic - Alias $_ topical variable to something prettier
use Pretty::Topic '♥';
say ^4 .map: { $_ + 10 }; # fugly
say ^4 .map: { ♥ + 10 }; # purty!
given <meow woof>.pick {
when ♥ ~~ /meo/ { say 'Tis a kitty!' }
when ♥ ~~ /oof/ { say 'Tis a doggy!' }
}Multi-char alias is fine too:
use Pretty::Topic 'TOPIC-VAR';
say ^4 .map: { TOPIC-VAR + 10 };This module aliases the $_ topical variable to a string you provide on the
use line, allowing you to avoid the eyesore the $_ is.
This module exports the string you provide on the use line as a &term:<>.
The current implementation doesn't let you use < or > in topic's name.
