| So instead of just taking this simple solution, the wiki proposal is instead | destroying the beauty of the per-package namespace idea by incorporating | into it the existing shared namespaces with their attendant problems, | instead of just letting the existing messy system die a natural death | through the syntactic isolation I proposed. Brian, I think your proposal may be clearer to you than to everyone else. It's always hard to reconstruct a detailed proposal by reading long email threads. Suggestion: if you feel strongly about this, why not start a Wiki page (you can link to it from the current one) to describe the design you propose, at a comparable level of detail? Incidentally, compatibility with Cabal is a significant goal. Simon
