The suggested changes sound hard to understand and to implement consistently in all compilers. I lean towards leaving the spec as it is. IIRC, the current Hugs semantics is a complex balancing act intended to achieve backward compatability and implement module paths at the same time. I'd prefer to see everyone switch over to the new way so that we can drop old features. -- Alastair Reid
