We do not have a way apart from disabledModules for replacing the default value for the documentation :/ That's not the end of world | 12:41:53 |
| aciceri | While I'm at it I've another question about the module system: why it isn't possible to set an option config.foo to a function of config.foo? | 12:44:57 |
| aciceri | In general it shouldn't lead to an infinite recursion | 12:45:23 |
| aciceri | Or maybe yes, I'm not sure anymore...I remember thinking about this time ago. The example I was giving to myself was something like foo = f config.foo where f is the usual recursive factorial. But thinking about it now I can't see how I could express the recursion base case. | 12:48:22 |
| aciceri | But still I believe that even foo = g config.foo with g: _: 42 as the constant function would lead to an infinite recursion error (perhaps I'm wrong, haven't tried) | 12:49:16 |

 nbp | You are interested in making a fix-point within the module system. I never thought of it before.
It is possible to make a fix-point within the apply function of an option, which how submodules are implemented, but using the option it-self …
I doubt g = _: 42 would yield to an infinite recursion as config.foo would be evaluated lazify if the argument is used. | 12:59:48 |
