| Is it possible to get the Box/Unbox functions moved from reflection to lang? I'd like to be able to use them without having to import reflection. Setting REFLECTION_FILTER="" isn't really a solution, imo. |

| Hi, Sounds good to me - have you tried it? |

| No imports: [monkeycode]Strict Function Main:Int() BoxInt(1) Return 0 End[/monkeycode] Error : Identifier 'BoxInt' not found. [monkeycode]Strict #REFLECTION_FILTER="" Import reflection Function Main:Int() BoxInt(1) Return 0 End[/monkeycode] Works, but it seems a bit silly. Edit: No, I haven't tried moving it there yet, but I don't see why it shouldn't work. Maybe Box/UnboxArray might break? I'll check it in a bit. Edit 2: I see there is no Box/UnboxArray, and you need to use ArrayBoxer<T>.Box/Unbox, which needs reflection. Given that array boxing is fairly uncommon, I think it's probably OK to move the rest of them to lang.monkey, but leave ArrayBoxer in reflection.monkey. |

| Hi, Just did a quick cut/paste test and it seems to work OK, including ArrayBoxer. Haven't tested reflection though - have you got some reasonably serious reflection code to thrash it with, eg: the Lua stuff? |

| I haven't quite finished the pure Monkey port of Lua yet, since I need to rewrite some of the syntax parsing stuff to not use Java streams. I can't guarantee this Lua VM is going to be particularly fast either... ;) I can probably come up with something to break it, I'm good at that. ;D |
