Re: Libraries and hierarchies

I think I share Ross's sense that this is (or should be) a language extension with a significant semantic change

I may be misunderstanding the transformations you have in mind, but how do I tell whether A.B.C.f and X.C.f are the same thing?

The gist of the transformations is expressed by the following cpp definitions: #define A.B Posix-pkg-1.0.Posix #define X Posix-pkg-1.0.Posix where posix-pkg-1.0.Posix is the true name of the module and A.B and X are the synonyms. (Of course, cpp is too crude a tool and won't allow dots in the name of the macro but hopefully you get the gist.) -- Alastair
