Here is an overview of the issue:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
        Key: BOO-250
    Summary: builtin primitives (double, float) as first class fuctions fail 
miserably.
       Type: Bug

     Status: Unassigned
   Priority: Major

 Original Estimate: Unknown
 Time Spent: Unknown
  Remaining: Unknown

    Project: Boo
 Components: 
             Compiler
   Versions:
             0.5

   Assignee: 
   Reporter: Arron Washington

    Created: Fri, 11 Feb 2005 3:21 PM
    Updated: Fri, 11 Feb 2005 3:21 PM
Environment: Latest SVN.

Description:
The following code fails:

points = ["1", "2", "3", "4", "5", "6", "7", "8", "9", "10"]
index = 0

Step = def(increment as int):
        numbers = points[index:index + increment]
        index += increment
        return array(double, map(numbers, double.Parse)) //can't parse this 
line.
        

However, this version succedes:

points = ["1", "2", "3", "4", "5", "6", "7", "8", "9", "10"]
index = 0
jaz = def(var as string):
        return double.Parse(var)
Step = def(increment as int):
        numbers = points[index:index + increment]
        index += increment
        return array(double, map(numbers, {var as string| return 
double.Parse(var)})) //Works perfectly. Anonymous functions (blocks?) and 
functions in general work.
