Topic: Hole command for implicit args
Yakov Pechersky (Jun 23 2020 at 22:51):
A cool hole command would be when doing
rw @complicated_func _
the hole command would expand the underscore to as many underscores as there are implicit and explicit arguments to complicated_func

i think you want refine
Yakov Pechersky (Jun 23 2020 at 23:09):
Sure! But that splits it into goals. When there are many arguments that can be inferred other than that 1 single tricky one, I picture refine
leading to a lot of sorry
or swap
to get to the one tricky one, then undoing the refine
back into a rw @complicated _ _ _ _ myarg _ _
. Is that what you mean?
Jalex Stark (Jun 23 2020 at 23:11):
i see, your point is just that you may end up typing all of the underscores anyway, and you'd like automation for this

I think this might actually exist already?
