PBR; Thanks, this is very good news as I *usually* just perform read on large sequences; I was under the impression that passing any object was done by value. However, I would like to see the possibility to use pass-by-reference and having the ability to write on it without the copy. Is that something you are considering (I'm sorry if the question has been addressed a multitude of times before..)?
It has certainly been talked about and thought about. I experimented a bit with this in my ooeu experiments. There are some tricky issues involved in implementation.
Signed integer; Why is the integer tracking the size of a sequence signed?
This was how Rob implemented it. I'd guess that he figured it was big enough. And practically speaking, it should be.
