Alias for 'self'
pithyless opened this issue · comments
I really like how well this reads:
pru <map> <reduce>
Have you considered adding an alias for those times when all we want is the reduce (e.g. .)?
Maybe it's just me, but this is easier for me to type without needing to pause:
ls -al | pru . size
Which I think of a shorthand for:
ls -al | pru /./ size
vs the alternatives:
ls -al | pru self size
ls -al | pru -r size
It would have to be a hard-coded exception, but period by itself would not conflict with anything else you might want to do. I don't mind submitting a short patch if you agree with the idea.
All in all, this is a very minor issue. Thanks for the gem! ;-)
pru '' 'size' does the same, feels even simpler to me, you can see that 'nothing' is happening in the mapping step
hmmm, I didn't think of using empty quotes. I guess it's alright.
Feel free to close this issue, and thanks again for the gem.
I added docs/specs for it :)
