Question

The following is a manual process

case class A(x: Int) { def f(y: Int) = x * y }
val af: (A => Int => Int) = _.f

val a = A(4)
val r = af(a)(2)

Is there a conventient way to get a function like af? Something like A magic f, possibly without using reflection. Ability to import all public methods of a class via import A#magic._ is a bonus.

Answer 1

This way is 10 symbols shorter:

val af = (_: A).f _
