Is NamedPartialFunction actually used anywhere?

[Rike-Benjamin Schuppner]

Hi,

while looking through the code in order to fix a bug with the fixCSS implementation, I noticed the verbosity in the LiftRequestPF:

    val liftReq: LiftRules.LiftRequestPF = new LiftRules.LiftRequestPF {

      def functionName = "Default CSS Fixer"

      def isDefinedAt(r: Req): Boolean = {

        r.path.partPath == path

      }

      def apply(r: Req): Boolean = {

        r.path.partPath == path

      }

    }

Now, LiftRules.LiftRequestPF never declares a functionName (It is a plain typedef for PartialFuction.) so I guess it could simply be written as:

    val liftReq: LiftRules.LiftRequestPF = {

      case Req(p, _, _) if p == path => true

    }

But even more so: What if LiftRequestPF were a NamedPartialFunction (or NamedPF) which declares the functionName def. Would it actually be used anywhere? From quickly grepping the code, there seem to be a few definitions of NamedPartialFunctions but its main feature, the functionName seems nowhere to be used. Am I missing something here? Where could I take advantage of this.

Cheers
