PRE SIP: ThisFunction | scope injection (similar to kotlin receiver function)

[AMatveev]

@buzden

f(a: A)

val sb = new SomeBuilder {
  override def dup = 5
  override def str = "!"
}
  
f(sb)

Sorry, I do not understand the practical usage of this example.

@buzden

• implicit conversions from A to B that actually can bring A 's names to the B 's scope;
• explicit this.type type that can be B in an implicit conversion above.

You are right.
But how will it look on real examples?
Let’s look for examle on ScalaFX or kjdbc

Of course we can use implicit conversions, but this conversions must be imported. It will cause name clashes:

@adriaanm

“scope management”, which would likely be subsumed by implicit function types or “static scope injection”: implicit function types replace scoping by availability of implicits, which may result in name clashes

@buzden

seem to be somehow helpful in your issue

Sorry, but I have been thinking about it for about a year, I just do not know how to make scalable library (like kdbc or scalafx ) with implicits
