Hi all,
While working on a parser, I've repeatedly encountered patterns like:
if c == ' ' || c == '\t' { /* handle whitespace */ }
if token == EOL || token == EOF { /* handle end markers */ }
if lexer.Type == TextLine || lexer.Type == WhitespaceLine { /* handle lines
*/ }
Go already allows multiple values in case statements:
switch c {
case ' ', '\t':
/* handle whitespace */
}
I'm wondering if there could be a more elegant way to express this pattern in
Go, perhaps something conceptually similar to:
if c [some_syntax] ' ', '\t' { /* handle whitespace */ }
Do you think that the Go team would be likely to consider such a proposal, or
would taking the time to prepare and submit a proposal likely just be for
naught?
If this seems worthy of a proposal, what syntax do you think might be the best
fit for the Go language?
Thanks,
-Mike
