[jira] Commented: (BOO-498) CollectionAttribute + value type = madness

    [ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/BOO-498?page=comments#action_47272 ] 

Arron Washington commented on BOO-498:
--------------------------------------

Come to think of it, I'm not sure I like the way CollectionAttribute works.

Would anyone mind if I offered up another attribute with the same purpose to 
'depreciate' CollectionAttribtue? I need something a bit stronger than what 
CollectionAttribute provides, anyway, and I might as well share.

> The CollectionAttribute (or perhaps AbstractAttribute) appears to be using 
> "is" for comparisons, and of course that does not work for value types.
> I'm not familiar with the underpinnings of the code, but it should probably 
> invoke the Equals member instead of doing an "is" comparison.
> Sample:
> import Useful.Collections from 'Boo.Lang.Useful'
> [Collection(int)]
> class collect:
>       pass
