Re: [Bug-apl] Package metadata format

[Elias Mårtenson]

I wrote this function to print the value(s) of a given field:

      { (((⍺[;⎕IO]) ≡¨ ⊂⍵) /[1] ⍺)[;2] }

Could it be improved?

Regards,

Elias

OK, I changed the SQL.apl file. Looks OK? https://github.com/lokedhs/apl-sqlite/blob/547c8191021629eb29b0bc141ff206766e1c21d3/SQL.apl#L134

After implementing the metadata functions nnn⍙Provides, nnn⍙Requires, etc, I feel that we should change this slightly.

I find the that multitude of functions to support this tend to pollute the output of )FNS quite a bit. It's also somewhat inflexible in that it requires you to add even more functions as new features are added to the package system.

How about we change this so that only one function is used, for example nnn⍙package_metadata or something like that? The name matters less, but the point is that it's only a single function.

I find this to be a lot cleaner.

As an example, for SQL, the content would be:

      8⎕CR SQL⍙package_metadata
