I like the idea overall, and anything that can simplify the interface is more than welcome. However:
* I'd rather not have to specify a signature for a non-polymorphic function.
* I'd like to be able to use Perl code to call the functions as discussed previously, something like:
my $count_sql = SP->tl_activity_stats_sql( [ statistic => $stat, person_id => $pid ], $debug
);
For a Polymorphic function, perhaps it could be something like:
my $count = SP->call( tl_activity_stats_sql => [qw(text[] int)], [ statistic => $stat, person_id
=>$pid ], $debug );
The advantage here is that I'm not writing functions inside strings, and only provide the signature when I need to
disambiguatebetween polymorphic variants.
Anyway, That's just interface arguing. The overall idea is sound and very much appreciated.
Best,
