shadow members from 3rd party libs...
TurkeyMan opened this issue · 2 comments
So the idea is to use @noscript to control things that should be hidden from script, this is obvious I think, but how can we assert such control over 3rd party libs?
Thing is, the metatable is created first time a value is pushed... but we want to influence the creation of the metatable for some particular 3rd party type.
We'll need some sort of pre-registration function I think which can pre-create the metatable, where we can supply a type, and also a member shadow list or something.
Thoughts? (I just opened this issue to keep thoughts/plans in a public place)
I think I intended registerType to do this job, but I got side-tracked by working on pushing the static interface. Maybe the same function can be overloaded to take a filter function which spits out a bool given a fully qualified identifier? It can all be done at compile-time.
The intention is to add support for pushing entire modules automatically, so this is relevant for that too.
Okay, good approach. I'll keep this in mind.
