Description
Improvement no. 1¶
The overload of Name::append()
that takes a Block
has confusing semantics. It has a different behavior if the passed Block
is a GenericNameComponent, but does not apply the same special treatment to other typed name components. And this gets even more confusing when we consider that we have another append()
overload that takes a Component
and that Component
is a subclass of Block
. This means that appending a non-generic name component may have very different results depending on whether it's passed as a Block
or as a Component
. I propose to deprecate and eventually remove the Name::append(Block)
overload.
