Separate concepts of position and quantity for ordinal / relative scopes

Open pokey opened this issue 3 years ago • 0 comments

I kind of like the idea of orthogonalising position and quantity. Then we have these ways of specifying position:

  • "first" / "second" / "last"
  • "next" / "previous" / "second next" / "second previous"

And we have these ways of specifying quantity:

  • "funk"
  • "two funks"

And we can combine any position with any quantity

But I'm not sure practically speaking how much we'd use this expressivity 🤷‍♂️
