[weld-dev] Re: HierarchyDiscovery questions

Not particularly. I was interested in what this method does, what its legal inputs are, what its error conditions are, etc. (its contract). It implies one thing but does something else or at least does so for certain inputs (which inputs?). I’d like to either change the vague description of what it does, or change the implementation to somehow match the description (I doubt this is desired or possible). It sounds like this method’s contract is what it does (POSIWID; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_purpose_of_a_system_is_what_it_does ) so maybe its contract could be updated.
