I like this idea a lot!
Great. We "just" have to persuade other people around here of the same, in particular compiler implementors and the authors of the Hierarchical Modules Addenda.
Well, as an author of the Hierarchical Modules addendum, and as a compiler maintainer, I am already reasonably convinced of the utility of this suggestion. It does significantly alter the semantics of import/export, in a way that the original Hierarchical Modules addendum does not, but as Iavor pointed out, this is not necessarily a bad thing. What we now need is a precise definition. After that, contributions of code to implement it would also be welcome. :-) Regards, Malcolm
