#1379 Pod literal

Akcelisto Tue 11 Jan 2011

Why there is no pod literal? sys::, concurrent::, this::?

I have not need for pod literal. I ask just for consistency.

Consider slightly modified example from docs

Pod.find("icoms").file(`/x16/error.png`)
// Showing some error dialog

Yes, icoms. Looks like we failed at failing. This error might be very difficult to hit. icoms:: or icoms::# would do much better here.

Well in the case of file lookup, I would recommend using a URI literal:

`fan://icons/x16/error.png`.toFile

Pod literals might be nice, they also dove tail into ability to get type of enclosing type in a static method (another discussion).

But I am not in a rush to add those - they would useful, but I don't consider them a critical need.
