[Camelbones-devel] New in CVS - tied NSArray

[Sherm P. <sh...@do...>]

New in CVS:

If you make a call in list context to a method that returns an NSArray 
(or subclass), the method returns an array that is tied to an object of 
class CamelBones::TiedArray.

In other words, two-way transparent bridging for arrays now works 
pretty much just like you'd expect it to:

	my @list = NSArray->arrayWithArray(['foo', 'bar', 'baz']);

	for (@list) { print "$_\n"; }

	print join(",", @list), "\n";

	print scalar(@list), "\n";
	
	print $#list, "\n";

	my $obj = NSArray->arrayWithArray(['foo', 'bar', 'baz']);

	print $obj->description();

	my $obj = NSArray->arrayWithArray(['foo', 'bar', 'baz']);

	# print() normally forces list context, so use scalar()
	print scalar($obj->description()), "\n";

I'll implement the same for hashes/NSDictionaries tomorrow.

After that, I think it's time for a feature freeze leading up to a 
0.2.2 release around March 1st. I think there's more than enough new 
stuff to warrant a release, and there are bugs to squash and docs to 
write before then.
