Hello @SethTisue , could you please point me in the right direction how a PR like this can get merged? |
|
@sideeffffect we're planning to open up the standard library for new additions in 2.13.17 (https://docs.scala-lang.org/sips/drop-stdlib-forwards-bin-compat.html), we'll look into this PR for that release. 2.13.16 will stick to the old forwards binary compatibility, it's going to be a small release to support 3.6. |
|
Given that both 2.13.16 and 3.6.0 have been released, can this PR get reviewed, please? @lrytz |
|
IMO this is lacking a serious motivation. Is there for example a Contributors thread where several users express the need for these methods? Anecdotally, you need them; also anecdotally, I never came across that need. ;) Also, for the PR as such, should it move forward, it needs tests. |

I've described a use case for this here https://old.reddit.com/r/scala/comments/1eqqng2/the_simplest_dependency_injection_pure_scala_no/ In short, I believe converting between ordinary and contextual function is important and will be even more, once But I'd be happy to open a new thread on Contributors, soonish. |
applyToContextessentially turns ordinary functions to "contaxtual" functions.This is an indispensable piece of functionality when working with contextual functions and contexts, which is the hallmark of Scala. Thus
applyToContextbelongs to the standard library.Alternative names
