10/09/2015, 9:00 PMi'm probably conflating - e
enough-analyst-54434
10/09/2015, 9:00 PMyes - converters can be written by anyone - w
witty-crayon-22786
10/09/2015, 9:00 PMbut the option system should apply them - e
enough-analyst-54434
10/09/2015, 9:00 PMthey need not live in the options package, unless basic types - w
witty-crayon-22786
10/09/2015, 9:00 PMright? - e
enough-analyst-54434
10/09/2015, 9:00 PMyou hand them in - w
witty-crayon-22786
10/09/2015, 9:01 PMcool, yep. - e

10/09/2015, 9:01 PMI'm confused by you again - this is how it works today - e

witty-crayon-22786
10/09/2015, 9:01 PMyes. but the converters are all defined centrally, and need to be - w
witty-crayon-22786
10/09/2015, 9:01 PMbecause there is no interface - e

witty-crayon-22786
10/09/2015, 9:02 PM@enough-analyst-54434: they're more than converters: they also handle hashing - w
witty-crayon-22786
10/09/2015, 9:02 PMthey're types - w
witty-crayon-22786
10/09/2015, 9:03 PM(as of cody's change at least) - e
enough-analyst-54434
10/09/2015, 9:03 PMYes - maybe - the types they parse must be hashable - e
enough-analyst-54434
10/09/2015, 9:03 PMor the converter grows 2 methods - e
enough-analyst-54434
10/09/2015, 9:03 PMeither way - w
witty-crayon-22786
10/09/2015, 9:03 PMright. interface - e
enough-analyst-54434
10/09/2015, 9:03 PMMy point is the interface has 2 methods, those could be on 2 interfaces or 1 - e
enough-analyst-54434
10/09/2015, 9:03 PMconvert(string) -> type - e
enough-analyst-54434
10/09/2015, 9:03 PMif type is basic - handle - e
enough-analyst-54434
10/09/2015, 9:04 PMif not, must be Hashable - e
enough-analyst-54434
10/09/2015, 9:04 PMis one way to deal with this - e
enough-analyst-54434
10/09/2015, 9:04 PMinstead of cobverter growing 2 interface methods - e
enough-analyst-54434
10/09/2015, 9:05 PMI prefer the 1 interface though I think. Baking things like equal/hash/... into classes tends to lead to bad
