NAME

SelectiveImporting - Selective importing, and making aliases

SYNOPSIS

use SelectiveImporting;
use if;
use JSON::Fast:if(True) <&to-json &from-json>;
# or just `use JSON::Fast <&to-json &from-json>;`
# or just `use JSON::Fast;`
use JSON::Tiny '&to-json' => '&to-json-tiny', '&from-json' => '&from-json-tiny';
use URI;

# say &to-json.package;      # (Fast)
# say &from-json.package;    # (Fast)
# say &to-json-tiny.package; # (Tiny)
# say &to-json-tiny.package; # (Tiny)

DESCRIPTION

After use SelectiveImporting, if there is an arglist in use statement, like use JSON::Fast <&to-json &from-json>, it will import mentioned items and ignore others, and the tag for selective importing is also ignored, like :ALL, or :DEFAULT. If one element in arglist is a Str, it will import as-it-is, and if a Pair, like '&to-json' => '&to-json-fast', it will import the value (&to-json-fast) with given key (&to-json), i.e., makes an alias, 'provided name' => 'your name'.

Aim:

• Import selectively

• Avoid name conflicts
