RTN syntax options - addendum

This document is for feedback and analysis on this document:

• RTN syntax options

Instructions:

• Place your entry in the "big table" and then give a write-up below of what factors influenced your choices. Make sure to explain:
  • For your top choice(s), what is the key factor that led you there? For things you don't like, what is the key factor that pushed you over the edge?
    • If you identify considerations that don't appear in the write-up above, please add FIXME in your description so I can integrate it.
  • For anything negative, what don't you like about that option? If something is hard blocked (), what would it take to remove that block (even if you still wouldn't like the design overall)?
• Is there a "core tradeoff" for you?

The options in short

Option	Bound
StatusQuo	D: Database<items(): DoubleEndedIterator>
DotDot	D: Database<items(..): DoubleEndedIterator>
Return	D: Database<items::return: DoubleEndedIterator>
Output	D: Database<items::Output: DoubleEndedIterator>
Fn	D: Database<fn items(): DoubleEndedIterator>
FnDotDot	D: Database<fn items(..): DoubleEndedIterator>
FnReturn	D: Database<fn items::return: DoubleEndedIterator>
FnOutput	D: Database<fn items::Output: DoubleEndedIterator>

Big table

Put in

• for your top choice
• for things you like but not top choice
• for things you have significant reservations, even if you like them ("neutral overall")
• for things you dislike but are not hard blocking
• if you are putting a hard block (if you must)

Person	StatusQuo	DotDot	Return	Output	Fn	FnDotDot	FnReturn	FnOutput
