Arbitrary memo access
goodmami opened this issue · comments
This sounds like it might be a bad idea, but it could be very useful for an expression or an action to have direct access to the memo for storing or retrieving arbitrary information. The purpose is for expressions that accumulate information across different branches. It's something like persistent bound values.
I can imagine some expression like foo@Bar
(syntax undecided) that stores the values of Bar
in the memo at key foo
, but that might not be enough. Perhaps the Action
class can take the memo as another argument, then some Memo
action does the same as the expression. Users could create subclasses of Action
or Memo
to do more than just store the value.
This would need some restrictions, such as only allowing string keys so they don't overwrite actual memo data.
