Can @:forward also forward underlying operator overloads?

[kevinresol]

If I have an abstract over another abstract, the @:forward meta won't forward the underlying abstract's operator overloads. Can it be supported?

Example: http://try.haxe.org/#eBedf

maybe

Just ran into this myself - I assumed @:forward would carry over the operator overloads by default (same goes for @:to, @:from metas). I guess for now adding to and from the base type does the same job?

this would be great for abstracts of numeric types

[Simn]

This is mostly a design question because I'm not sure if @:forward should pick up additional semantics like that, or if a different metadata should be used instead.

Using the same meta could have unintended side effects for existing code at this point, exposing operators that were not meant to be exposed by the author.

I agree this should be a new meta.

Any news on this?

That would be really great
